It's hard not to feel like Christmas Morning when a box from B and H is delivered to my door. I know that anything in the box is going to be awesome. I tear in to the box with the anticipation of a small child to unwrap my new shiny toys. Rip, Tear, Ohhh, Ahhhh. So what was in box?

A NEW 85mm 1.8 - Ooooooh!


 and the NEW Sigma 24-70 2.8 - Ahhhhh!



As the super busy Mother of four, I was eager to test them both immediately, but it was my night to cook dinner. Drama. Imagine the horror if Tuesday Taco night was even delayed slightly. {Sigh.} Multi-tasking was certainly on the menu now.
Stir, Stir, Stir, Snap, Snap, Snap.

First up the 85 mm 1.8. A little heavier than my 50mm 1.4. Super sharp. Super fast. (These are all right out of the camera, because you know, I was cooking dinner.) And they look fab!

Best part - the shot is too tight for you to see my oldest son attempting to photo-bomb my test shots.

That's a good looking baby.


Next up the Sigma 24-70 2.8 ~ the 24 is so wide, I'll have to make sure I don't photo-bomb myself. Yep, those are my feet.


Sharp at 43, 45 and 70. Overall - I'm pretty darn happy.
How about this Bro-mance going on here?




And now a few words from my Model, Baby Jefferson...


And what does all that mean?
 I think he's saying, "That 85 is Ah-May-Zing! Start saving NOW for the 1.2" 
That's my boy.
Giving it the Studio Test this week! Fingers Crossed for Awesomeness.
