    My first FX shot taken today with a D700 and a lowly 50mm, f1.4. Samantha won a close game of "Pretty, pretty princess":tongue:

    Strange catchlights are courtesy of my front door.

    Great shot and a very beautiful Samantha! Congrats on the D700. I love mine! Mostly the ability of the great high ISOs and low light shots. Wish I had better glass but what I have is good.

    Lovely portrait. :smile:

    How do you get such sharp eyes? Do you sharpen them after resizing, just the eyes?

    This shot had no sharpening. Just a crop and levels adjustment.

    Nice lighting + careful focusing = sharp eyes.

    I really wish my 50 1.4 was that sharp wide open. Anything from F/2 and above, it becomes 'milky'. Good thing my 85 1.4 is tack sharp at 1.4 though, makes up for the lack of sharpness from f/2 to 1.4 on the 50.

    Great shot BTW!

    Oh, what a gorgeous shot. I'm so jealous. I would love a D700, but it's not in the near future......
