100% agreed!  This lens is something very special.  I'm getting the OM-D and the 75mm.

This thread has sold me.  I was debating on a D7100/85mm 1.4 or 1.8 combo, or the OM-D/75mm 1.8 combo.  Coming back to OLY and this lens is the biggest reason.  The combo does everything I want...

I wanted to clarify my shooting style as that seems to be a factor in this as I read some posts.  I do not shoot in a studio for actor's headshots.  They are shot in an urban setting, mostly...

Thanks for everything here so far.  If I do go with OLY, I will likely go with the 75mm over the 45mm.  Considered the 45mm, but for what I do, tightly cropped actor headshots, with good background...

Thanks for that, Jim.  I have considered the 85mm on the Nikon as well.  It would certainly provide a cheaper setup with very good quality.  I just know the 85mm 1.4D is considered a TOP KNOTCH...

I am going to be heading to grad school in a few months, and will be doing a large number of headshots again after a year off.  Getting my MFA in acting and will be providing headshots for many of...

Great info!  I am going to move back to OLY and get the OM-D in a few months, and flash triggers was a constant question.  This sounds like a good solution.  Saw your website...  WAR EAGLE! from a...

Excellent! Was not expecting this great a result when I saw the thread. Very nice!

I also owned a D700 for a while. Great camera, but with a grip which I require , it truly wears on you quickly.

I am in the process of doing exactly what you are considering. I had the D7000 and was looking to move to the D700 as was just not happy with the D7000... very easy to get soft images with the...

Everything Canon makes, to me, looks esthetically UGLY. This just falls right in like. Even the Canon logo is nasty. Billy http://www.wcgreen.net -- 'Talent does what it can. Genius does...

Thanks for this post.. very interesting stuff. I too focus on the eyes for 100% of my headshots... the inability of my E-3 to accurately focus the 35-100mm on the eyes correctly more than 25% of...

Thanks for all the comments so far. I considered the 45mm, but it honestly is a bit short for me. I would like the new 75mm, but cannot cover that expense at the time being. I am actually...

Hello! I wanted to get a variety of 2¢s from those using manual glass on the OM-D with the electronic viewfinder. I had hoped to replace my system with the OM-D and some new prime m43 glass. ...

Very nice shot! I believe I am sold on getting the 85mm f/1.4 myself.

Great shots, by the way! -- 'Talent does what it can. Genius does what it must.'

How do you like the Samyang 85mm 1.4? I am strongly considering this lens with the OM-D for my headshot combo until I can afford the 75mm f/1.8 down the road. -- 'Talent does what it can. ...

"Right," she replied, "that's really all it is, isn't it - a cute little camera that you can take with you."She proceeded to try to convince me that she and her husband were serious photographers....

Very impressed all around.

The silver wouldn't bother me on a silver body, but I hate the black grip on the silver. Make a silver grip or a black lens. Sorry, but I want visual consistency.
