A Borrowed Lens :)

[Flaming]

I am currently borrowing a lens from a friend. It is the Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM lens. So far I have loved it and am almost convinced that I should buy that lens of its sibling the 100mm lens. Anyway here are some shots that I have taken with it. Feel free to comment or critique as you like. I am just putting them up for your enjoyment.

rocking pictures. don't forget to consider the 100mm macro version. loss of 2/3 an fstop but 1x capability!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun wandering around my college campus shooting these subjects.


I find the 100mm macro to be a little more than I could swallow but it might some day enter my arsenal. I would have to look seriously at the Sigma 150mm lens before I bought the 100mm macro.

I like the leaf and the pine needles best.


Love the 85mm f/1.8. And it isn't expensive. Hard to think of a reason not to get it []

And it isn't expensive.

I guess in the grand scheme of things it is not. But you are talking to a college student (Flaming) and a seminary student (me) here! $400 is a semester's worth of books!

[Flaming]

Yeah, money is a small issue and lack of other lenses is also a small issue. Some day I might get around to spending more money on those. I really am impressed with this lens though! I would recommend it to anyone (especially if they don't already cover that focal length with the kit lens they have.)

I read that as "flaming seminary student" and immediately thought he was Catholic...I need to start reading more closely.
