So before more emails coming in asking, I do take portraits, lots of them and when I shot film, the 105f1.8 was an essential lens in my bag. I currently have the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/838798-REG\/Nikon_2201_AF_S_NIKKOR_85mm_f_1_8G.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI8518G\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI8518G\" target=\"_blank\">85f1.8AFS<\/a> which I like but I don&#8217;t love (it&#8217;s not the lens, it&#8217;s the focal length). Its slot in the bag was instantly vacated when the 105f1.4AFS was announced. Why do I think I need a fast 105mm lens? The main portraits I take right now involve pilots and planes. Having a good working distance from aircraft is important especially with light stands (the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1009783-REG\/profoto_901094_b1_500_airttl_monolight.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/PRB1AIR\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xPRB1AIR\" target=\"_blank\">Profoto B1<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1119633-REG\/profoto_901110_b2_250_air_ttl.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/PRB2250ATLK\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xPRB2250ATLK\" target=\"_blank\">B2<\/a>). At the same time, the narrower angle of view permits me to manipulate the background. And the narrow depth of field, that&#8217;s tells the story. This is just one use I have for this lens. Ya, not an inexpensive lens, quality shouldn&#8217;t be cheap. More important is what comes out of the lens, a rich story and that&#8217;s what the new 105f1.4AFS delivers with your talent driving it! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s so bloody cool I can talk about this lens finally!
