Thom wouldn't like that lens--look at all that blurring

Great shots and a great story. Glad it was you and not me. Not that snakes bother me, but rather I tend to be snake-blind and not see them. Well, I'm still alive after 21 years in India and 4 in Texas

Good catch! I didn't know this lens went down to f2.

Being my very 1st try with the lens, I wanted to be sure I got the focus right.
It won't happen again.

One thing that has impressed me with this lens is the sharpness and contrast SOOC. When I look at most of my RAW files, they need very little PP which can make life much easier. This was apparent this weekend when shooting a corporate holiday party. The room had some beautiful windows which I was able to use to my advantage, but the simple portraits are remarkable SOOC like this one with no PP.

Here is recent snap of my son. Just windows light and some adjustments in LR. Definitely my favorite portrett lense.

I just picked up this lens, and tested it out shooting basketball last night. I pushed things a bit, shooting for a while at 1.4 to see if the focus would hold up on my D5.

Nice shot. Enjoy the new lens. It certainly could be a nice addition for basketball.
