New Lens!

Nothing is more fun than a new toy, and the joy of our new 85mm f1.2 L lens has not yet worn off!  It's very pretty, and more importantly it's good at its job - which for us means it is awesome for portraits, and for low light conditions without flash (i.e. most weddings!).

Here it is next to its little bro, the 85mm f1.8 - which is one of my favourites and will remain so despite its flashier sibling!

We have a naming ceremony for each lens when welcomed into the fold, it's easier for us to ask each other for lenses by nickname rather than a stream of numbers and letters!  For example the 50mm f1.4 is 'Stubby', the 85mm f1.8 is 'Super Stub' and the 70-200mm f2.8 is 'zoom zoom'.  After careful consideration we have decided to name the new lens MEGATRON.  Should raise some eyebrows at weddings as Pete, in a deep and serious voice, asks me to 'pass the Megatron'!

Check out the Meagtron's excellent work at Louise and Gary's wedding coming up next!
