Hi

I interesting in this lens, maybe buy it sometime...
Did you make portraits on it, how it looks on f2 - half body and full body shots ?

I haven't had the opportunity to take a lot of portraits with it, yet, but it will perform perfectly. Professionals use the 85mm f/1.2 and it's obviously better ... but f/2 yields very pleasing results:

I bought it from this guy as a used one on January 24 this year and so far I'm happy with it.

Haha!
Our local zoo has several different “experience” packages where you and your spouse can pay the equivalent of one nice refurb RF16mm STM to spend 30 minutes with an animal of your choice up close and personal.

Are those red pandas? I'm surprised they are posing for the camera. How did they pull that off?

Yes, those are red pandas.
It appears that they know exactly what to do.

The guy on the other hand… I think the treat is for him

Desert Grassland Whiptail on San Estoban Chuckwalla


Not the best example of lens performance as the enclosure glass was extremely dirty/smudged on the inside (I give it a 2 out of 10 on the glass cleanliness scale). I had a tough time finding a relatively clear shot to the heads. The softness in other areas are due to the smudges.
