I sold mine and replaced it with the latest 90mm f2.8. The old lens was extraordinary for portraiture; the latest lens is very sharp and in portraiture, especially with flash, renders an unflattering image. regards, Andrew Jordan >> Have you considered using a softar-type filter on the newer lens for portraiture? It always seemed to make more sense to me to have a sharp lens and soften it temporarily rather than a lens that's never sharp. Then again, portraiture consitutes only a minuscule part of my photography and one I've never been very adept at. DT
