About two weeks ago I rented a lens I'm considering purchasing, the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 D, and it is a BEAUTY! Gorgeous bokeh, razor thin depth of field, amazingly sharp... however I'm gonna hold out for Nikon to release an AF-S version as it is a little slow to focus in low-light (please, Nikon, pretty please release one soon!) This lens is a more than a decade old design, but is absolutely a legend, which is only matched by Canon's 85 f/1.2. I used this lens on a dual portrait session down in old town Leesburg that weekend with two high-school seniors, best-friends: Regina and Natalia. I figured I should upload some of my favorite images from that session, since I'd been slacking on my updates lately. The fully gallery is up on www.noahhayes.net go check it out!

I was dying to have this lens before... and now after seeing these portraits - I might order it tonight! Hahaha. =) It would be so much nicer on full frame than on my D300, but I can still work magic with what I have! Beautiful shots, Noah! You rocked that session. Come visit me in Annapolis so we can shoot together sometime! =)
@natalie
We'll definitely meet-up soon! You definitely work some magic with your D300!
