NX300 with NX 85mm , first test shots
2

Finally managed to pick up a bargain 85mm lens second hand (and by bargain iv not seen one so cheap after months of looking so im very happy). Havent had too long with it as iv had to go to work in Norway and its a little big and heavy to fit in my rig bag, and im already missing it These were the first shots i got just as a test, nothing overly special but i already love the lens.

I will have a look at some of the others i took and see if i went down to 1.4, it was very very bright and was a very quick test so i may have not gone down that far.

IQ has seriously impressed me, even looking at the initial RAW images on the back of the camera i was very happy straight away.

As for the cost, £300 on ebay, and the lens is spotless

I know what you mean, especially on the Swan portrait. To be honest i didnt notice it the first time and have subsequently looked back at the original and im not actually sure how to fix it, the histogram doesnt show any blown details, and any adjustments im making isnt really touching the white zone. Im not to worried to behonest, these were never meant to be more than a quick lens test, 2 minutes away from my home. Hopefully when i get back from this rig in the middle of the north sea ill be able to give it  aproper work out.
