Really nice Le Rolls, I think your 'style' is coming along nicely. These latest images are far more refined and delicate than what I saw of your earlier works (as if I know anything , its just an observation)

Thank you for the kind words. I feel as though I have been growing over time organically so it's nice to hear that others can see it in my work.

FA31

Something a little different and an excuse to use the 31.

If you will forgive me, I don't like this as much as your other recent posts - I prefer the more refined images you have created recently- but boy that 31 has some 3 dimensionality to it.....

You are forgiven.

I don't like it as much either but it was the model's favorite shot of the day. When it comes to portraits I greatly prefer the look of the 77 but had to use the 31 for this shot. We may come back to this location with a different less wrinkled dress and some flowers to place around her. I will be posting more shots from this shoot later.

Did you used any external light for this pic?? Beautiful model, she seems very comfortable posing for you.

I use an external flash in almost all my portraits. Jenna is a friend at this point so we usually find a groove pretty quickly. On that particular shoot (which was on Monday) she was going through a lot of relationship drama so I figured we'd try to channel some of that into the shot.

How was your set up like? How did you manage the flash not reflecting on your black Acrylic?

Honestly I love the FA77, the lens is great...

But I still think the model and LeRolls are the key elements that make the shots. I don't think it would look bad with DA70 a 50-135 or a FA*85...

**wizofoz** · 01-30-2016, 04:38 AM

Agreed Nicholas, the Photographer and the model are the main contributors, and I agree the shot would look good with any of the lenses you list. I have never used a FA* 85 or a da 70, but I have the other two lenses. The 50-135 is a wonderful lens, but it does not have the character of the 77. IMHO there is just something about the 77 that almost defies description.

sure I agree, I had the 50-135 before and the FA77 is better. From FA77 and FA*85 owners the FA*85 is even better. My personal opinion between DA70 and FA77 is the FA77 is better... But anyway, all are great lenses, so that the cherry on the cake
