Thanks lads. Yes the lens is sweet, it hasn't been off my camera since the day I bought it. I love having such a razor thin DOF but it does take some (well a lot frankly) practice to use it right.

I love these types of lenses. I have the 85mm 1.4 and that one has a even thinner DOF but I still love it!

Keep those "boring" pictures coming...

I contemplated picking up the 1.4 because my usual camera store was out of 1.8's, a bit out of my price league though

Some more

The shot above is straight out of the camera, no additional sharpening in photoshop. Just resizing and some fiddling with curves. Photobucket messed the quality up badly but I think you still get the idea. How much is a flickr subscription again?
