Thanks for the compliments, Sean. As an admirer of your work (your Flickr site is bookmarked in the Strobist section, and I've often referred others to how you experiment with your lighting setups), I really appreciate the compliment! You're right about how the 85mm suits me. It's funny how we gravitate towards certain lenses. I've owned most of Canon's lineup from 20mm to 300mm, and just about every L lens made. But only a fraction of them have I kept. It's a matter of what 'clicks' with you. There is no rational reason why I sold my 24-70 2.8L - everybody raves about it - but it never clicked with me. In contrast, the 24-105 f/4 L almost never leaves one of my bodies. Nowadays, I am down to the 24-105 f/4 L, 70-200 f/2.8 L, 85 1.8, 50 1.4, Sigma 17-35 f/2.8, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro, and Sigma 24-60 f/2.8. And a Lensbaby in there somewhere. Those are the lenses I keep and use all the time. Everything else comes and goes.


Go figure.
