It's all in the eyes!

I was really silly on Sunday, and took Des up on the offer to try his 80-200. While not not VR, it's certainly a lovely lens :)

80-200 2.8 @ 200mm handheld, 1/250th f2.8

It's a dangerous lens, and I probably should have gone for a higher f-stop - not sure if this would be better with both eyes in focus, or whether the emphasis on just one eye makes the shot.

Well worth looking at the original by clicking on the pic 8)

It's a surprisingly good portrait lens, isn't it? :) Devilishly fast, and sharp too.

Going to cost you a fair few diamonds though..... ;)

Beautiful shot Leon!
One to look back in many years time and reminisce.

Very nice Leon, the 80-200 are a great lens and have moved downwards on the second hand front, great buying either s/h or a new one or equivalent Sigma :wink:

hrmmm - appears smugmug is down. I wonder what new features they're putting in this time?

Should be back a bit later :)
