Thanks Arthur
A few months ago I posted some impromptu photos of my next door neighbor's daughter just after I received this lens and I could not believe the grief I received for having one eye in focus and the other not in a couple of the shots. I was an early recipient of this lens and I was simply curious how this lens looked wide open. Quite surprised to get such negative comments. Nevertheless, here is a shot from a ballet rehearsal with the 58g and a D4. As you can see, both eyes in focus, but personally I think it's kind of boring if one adheres to such strict rules. Just my opinion.

Joe, that's funny. I wouldn't sweat it, your body of work with any lens is above amazing and speaks for itself. I've always loved how you harnessed the characteristics of this lens and pushed them to the limit. I like the way you break all those boring rules.
You might call this shot boring, but I really like how you used the lighting and shadowing in conjunction with the the thin DoF. Not many people can combine all these elements and hit it just right. I'm glad to see you still shooting and enjoying what you do!!

Fantastic shot! Well, you're gonna get grief from people no matter what you do anyway (and I have gotten a lot throughout the years) Just ignore them and keep creating. You know you make fantastic work, so just keep creating images and remain faithful to your own vision. Always expect criticism, ALWAYS. You can never please everyone no matter what you do. Remember that you're doing this for YOU, not for them.
Again, fantastic work!
Thanks Kingfisher and Joseph. I appreciate constructive criticism and I fully realize some clients are seemingly impossible to please. However, name calling was really not very constructive. No worries.
Great little lens by the way.

If they want both eyes to be focused, stopping down would help.
The colors are gorgeous, btw.

Nice shot... not crystal sharp though. Is that with the new 750??
What a cutie though...

Too cute! very nice
Yah it's with the 750. Ive been struggling to get images as sharp as with the Df. Though when I view it on my mbp its sharp. I'm either not exporting correctly in LR or Flickr messing around with compression?Nice shot... not crystal sharp though. Is that with the new 750??
What a cutie though...
ThanksToo cute! very nice
testing out before buying, definitely very nice bokeh, wide open sharpness about the same as my 50 1.4G, then again I think I got one hell of a superb copy of the 50 1.4G lol..
