A new lens

AugustAugust I'm in the process of upgrading my photographic equipment. Zoom lenses don't quite cut it for professional work. They don't have the acuity of a fixed focus lens and, equally important, they are significantly slower. Nikon's 85mm F1.8 lens is my latest addition for taking portraits (both animal and people). It arrived today and I tried it out.

I'd want to add a supplemental light to this shot, but as a candid shot, it's not bad. The lens lets me keep my distance which limits the disturbance to the subject and flattens the perspective. No outsized noses.
