Composer Pro II + Edge 80

Swiveling the focus ring feels buttery smooth, and the f/2.8 aperture lets me isolate my subject beautifully against a blurred background. The solid metal build gives it a reassuring heft in hand.

The Edge 80 optic gives that slice-of-focus look I've been chasing for portraits, and at f/2.8 the falloff into blur is buttery. Took me a couple of shoots to nail the tilt, but now it barely leaves my camera.

The 80mm focal length gives a tighter crop than I expected, and shooting wide open at f/2.8 creates that smooth blur around a sharp slice of focus. It takes some patience to nail the sweet spot by hand, but that's kind of the point with this lens.
