I've had my 75mm 2 1/2 weeks and it's giving me shots that are beautiful and
unique - I love it - but it takes work and I'm just getting the hang of it.
Yes, I've been cut off the tops of a few heads - oh well.

I guess what i ment to say, was that I was shooting with the 75mm
at 1.4 --
I had lots of trouble with CU faces and getting the back eye in
focus and the
front eye soft when I wanted it the other way -

with my EOS and 85 f1.8 I can hit the exact focus spot I want a
lot easier.

and I really did want to fall in love with the 75mm
