in large, i agree. here is the original shot i was inquiring about. i was more impressed with the very narrow dof, it appears to be <1". i don't think it works for this shot though (why blur the pussy out?)



nevertheless, i wanted to gain some knowledge on how to achieve the narrow dof

well, 2 reasons.

1. the camera shop where i was looking at lenses did not have the 85mm 1.4 listed.
2. it's crazy expensive! 3x+ more $ than the 1.8.

does half a stop make 3x+ the diff? prolly so but i can't justify the purchase right now.
