After much deliberation I decided to break the bank and buy a Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 MkII. I am really getting in some creative stuff at the moment where I isolate the subject and blur the background. The DOF that the lens gives is so shallow and this lens is fantastic at doing it.

Whilst playing the other day, I stuck on a 12mm extension tube and got the DOF down to about 5mm!

Here's a couple of pictures I took last week up in London on the South Bank in all of that rain.

Hope you enjoy.

Congratulations :)
I remember reading a review of it in Chasseur d'images magazine and it was very good.
The photo of the leaf on step is very impressive. You must have fun with it in low light.
