I recently got a rare new lens -- as you might imagine from my pissy rants about lens choice, I rarely get new lenses, and only to solve specific problems.*

This particular one is the lovely and relatively inexpensive 85mm f/1.8, which is both tack-sharp and has beautiful bokeh, as demonstrated here.

How sharp is it? Very.


* Um, I didn't have a portrait-length lens, and, well, we have that new housemate coming to join us soon...

That's a neat lens!
