I love your description of how the lens performs for you--and especially the idea of 80mm eyes! Do you ever used an APO 2.x extender with the 80mm f/1.4?

Secondly the look, sharp with lovely boke wide open (and lets face it the bulk of the frame realestate is OOF with a 80mm at f1.4) super sharp stopped down. I like the 75 f1.4 M but in the end, at this focal length, I think an SLR starts coming into its own. cheers Frank --- Kit McChesney <kitmc@acmefoto.com> wrote: > Frank-- > > Why is the 80 your favorite?
