Default Picked up new to me lens! 85mm prime

Quick test shot when i got home and am really impressed! Was a marketplace find/gamble. Paid about half of retail and the guy said he used it once!

Very nice, 85mm fast prime "portrait lenses" have a very shallow DOF so you can get some really great subject seperation. Which lens specifically did you get?

Sony FE85 f/1.8

that pic was taken about 6 feet away and at 2.8. I think i should have shot it at f4 but again just a test shot to make sure it was all kosher

i am actually looking forward to snapping some car pics with it. Been looking at car pics taken with higher focal lengths and think cars look good with a little compression
