I am finally back from an epic time at WPPI. I met new friends, rekindled old connections and was completely humbled at the number of you who stopped me in the halls to say hello. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this gal feel extra special. 
Before leaving for Las Vegas, I shot a lovely wedding in Palos Verdes, CA for the super-nice Heidi and Michael. I will, of course, have a full post in a couple of days, but I’ve been sitting on this image for close to a week now and wanted to share it with you all.
Eep! This lens is sharp as heck, a dream to use (bye-bye sticky Canon TS-E!) and the coating is gorgeous! Looks like I’ll be saving up for this beauty next.
I will post more of Heidi & Michael’s Palos Verdes wedding next week!
delightfully,
Chenin
Beautiful! You are totally tempting me to switch to Nikon with all the sharpness!!
This lens is a beast!… Can’t wait for more photos.
The only bummer about Nikon and manual focus for me so far has been that the focus points don’t light up indivudually when in focus on a MF lens, there’s just that light in the lower left corner. It’s helpful enough though, with the arrows that direct you. And the sharpness is worth it.
If you’re cool with manual focus, Chenin, you should pick up an old-school 35 1.4 or 50 1.2. Both amazingly sharp, and as exotically unknown as a PCE / TCE…

mmm, yummy image. almost makes me want to jump ship nikon.
Sweet images… can’t wait to see the rest! From one Nikon fan to another
P.S. Can’t wait for the 24mm 1.4!
Gorgeous photos!! So what camera do you have now? I’m curious because I’m thinking of switching to Nikon too.
Girl you know how the rock that 45mm goodness like a goddess! I love the shot and that lens is amazing. Just wait until you get your hands on the 24mm 1.4, it is going to BLOW your mind. I am still trying to recover from the with-drawls I am going through after having to give it back to Nikon. =( …thankfully the word is one will be showing up on my door step soon.
I love the way you use your PC lens for portraits. I see a lot of people using it in uncomfortable ways but this is just dreamy.
I am totally jealous of the 45mm Tilt Shift Lens…I’d so love to have that! I also shoot Nikon and can’t wait to see more primes enter their lineup (I’m patient since I have some saving up to do!). Great photos – glad to see you’re loving the gear!
