Portraits with a new lens
 

A Tokina 100mm f/2.8 lens. I got into such a rush to use the thing that I forgot to check the ISO. Sometimes, I can't get out of my own way. I shot these at 3200. :mad:

Anyway... this is my daughter. Fortunately, she's a patient model and she won't mind reshooting. :)

Cute!

I ended up returning the lens. Out beyond eight feet, it had a front focus problem. Always seemed to focus a few inches in front of the target.

What body are you shooting with?

I just sent my 24-70 2.8 back to Nikon. It also had focusing issues. :( are you going to get another Tokina, or go with a Sigma instead?

I am torn between a few lenses in that range myself, but am considering a macro lens, which can hopefull double as a good portrait lens.

I shoot with Nikon D300. Right now, I'm going to just wait before I get another lens. The 50mm is working well, but I'll eventually just go with the 85mm f/1.8 from Nikon. For now, I'm probably just going to buy more strobes. :)

flickr is blocked here in the UAE, so for the last few weeks im unable to see any of your pics unfortunately.

ive thoroughly enjoyed all your posts previously fnaq..any other way of seeing them?

What photo hosting sites do the Arabs consider to be acceptable?

well i have a photobucket account and it works well.

whats the difference between that and flickr?

Flickr doesn't censor the content. If you post a nude on Photobucket they will delete it.

Thanks. Right now, that's pretty much the only thing I'm using. Been thinking about setting up something else in the future though.
