Ok, my wife told me 5 minutes is all I get. So I grabbed my black background, one strobe with softbox and set this up very quickly.

I am providing raw files and a jpeg for download from my site. Please don't kill my server.

The image is underexposed because I eyeballed all of this so when you bring the raw file up in lightroom add about +.40-.75 ...maybe more. WB is also off a bit as well.

This was shot with the new 55mm f2.8 at F8 1/125 iso 100. This lens so far seems to be very sharp in the center. I have not really checked the corners.

The jpeg has the following applied:
Exposure +.70
Clarity +5
sharpening 42
radius 1.4
detail 42
masking 33

Yes the pose is not the best....try working with a wife that's not very amused at her husband acting like a kid with a new toy. I can't believe I got her to smile

Wow...f/8 and not all of her face is in focus :-O

The chroma noise is non-existent as far as I can see and that's a crazy amount of detail and texture you can see in her eyes :-)

Here's what a K20D looks like in comparison using a beauty dish on the right and a softlighter for fill (probably not enough) on the left side and the 60-250 at f/11. You can see lots of chroma noise in the shadows on the model's face:

Thanks much for taking it and thanks to your wife for posing :-)

Yeah DOF is very small, I forgot how much of a difference MF is. I think I did this at f11 it would of been a little better....well that and a better setup

What crisp detail in that image - so clean too.
Beautiful result and amazing resolution.
Thanks for sharing.
