We spent some time in our local mountains, Big Bear & Lake Arrowhead, so I decided to put my 85 1.4 on my camera since I have not used it in a few weeks. The first image is a picture of my beautiful wife. I shot this with the aperture set to f/9. You can see that the hotel in the background is distracting.
The second image was shot from the exact same spot only the aperture changed from f/9 to f/1.4.
I love the Bokeh (out of focus background) that this 85 1.4 produces. Even the tree branches that are only about two feet behind her are totally out of focus and no longer a distraction. I have used this lens with great success for all types of portraits, from senior portraits to fancy wedding shots. It always delivers with that special "Bokeh" quality! Both images were taken with the 85 1.4 on my full frame Nikon D3. This lens also works great on DX format cameras like the D300 my wife is holding in the picture. The DX crop factor of 1.5 changes the 85mm to a 128mm 1.4 lens. Perfect for head shots!
