The 200L(and the 300L f/4) is actually one of the best portrait lens too, but at the focal length, it's difficult to use indoors where studio settings are much more cramped.
What Jon said is completely right though, the 85L is RIDICULOUSLY unforgiving. I am getting great shots with it, but I am getitng much better shots (at this moment of expertise/experience)) with the 200L. For the money, the 135L and the 200L is better bang for the buck than the 85L.

 

Astonishing Sunset

 

Jon, the sky looks kinda funny on my monitor but the houses look ok. is there an embedded color profile on the image?

 

Sunset Pastels

 

I took that a while ago since I saw some weird sky color. The colors were definitely weird that day though. My 24" iMac is an IPS monitor setup with ColorMunky, looked exactly like how it was that day.

 

Psychodelic Tulips

 

hmmm.. maybe i'm seeing it wrong but this is what I see:

 

Tragic Ending

 

You're seeing it fine. I think you mean the top part of the clouds were they were separating. There were heavy clouds behind the shot to cause some problems with the clouds on the top. The culprit might be with me leaving Adobe RGB on and then changing it to SRGB on CS4.

Tempting Snack!



I watched this gecko for awhile. He didn't get the lady bug. He did, however, try to put on a show for a lady friend!
