May I present Jayden, who turned two years old today. His proud parents asked me to take his birthday photos for them, he was a very willing model and as you can see just cute as a button.
This photograph should show that the lens is a formidable portrait lens. This was taken with the camera metered off of the background, and then a flash was used at -1EV to balance the exposure on the subject, and make the image look more natural.
