Hi all,

I bought a Sigma 85m 1.4 second hand from the classifieds and wanted to share the results from it's first outing.

Nothing wrong with those at all, bet you're pleased with that.. Nice lighting too!

1 and 5 are my favourites, she has lovely eyes and I like how engaged with you she is in 5.

I love my 85 1.4, definitely my favourite lens but maybe I need to investigate ring flash..

1 is abit over exposed,not much detail in the eyes..My fav are 3&6

Loving the shallow DOF. The only thing I'd say is that the eyes look a little over processed and jump out at me as a little fake. Esp on 5 & 6.

Thanks for the comments! #5&6 were the only ones to go into PS, hence the cooked eyes! Mandy
