AFA is an international event, with plenty international cosplayer, anime voice actors and anime song artists attending, of course it's awesome. lust.gif
CF is already one of the best for Malaysia standard. Not to mention Daicon in Cyberjaya MMU also.

I go GACC is because it's at my hometown and lots of my ex classmates going. The rest like ACG or Animangaki I usually don't go unless someone invites me.

Paper talk? Books on photography are considered paper talk? Those are very fundamental theories that one needs to put into practice. Don't know about you lah but if I I like to understand my equipment and use it to it's full potential, I would like to understand why it's doing what it's doing.
So far I've only seen shots with your 85mm f/1.4 in daylight. You shoot in low light too? I've not seen them.

Like I said, it you're hard pressed for higher shutter speed, a bump in the ISO would help solve most problems.
Some questions... Are you sure your subject is 1.5m from the camera? From which point are you measuring? Subject to edge of lens hood?

From the calculations, the focus should be sharp 1.24cm in front of subject and 1.26cm behind the subject (2.5cm DoF). Paper talk says that what you experience in the field shooting (i.e. the other eye 1cm back also blur already) and what is predicted is about close to correct. You're talking about 24 to 26 mm difference here.

Now the thing is assuming you have taken a measuring tape and measured 1.5m accurately the subject distance, there is a possibility that the lens + camera combo is front focusing a little (perhaps by 24 to 26mm maybe?). This may mean that the eye that you're focusing might still be in the DoF range and therefore it's still sharp.

I'm just putting hypothetical numbers here. All this can happen of course and perhaps explain what you're actually seeing.
That's correct. That's why I mention at the end that choosing 85mm or 135mm is based on shooting style and preference.

jchue73, if because you've not seen them it doesn't mean I don't shoot under low light.

Examples of my lowlight shots with the 85G,

user posted image
Camera Nikon D700
Exposure 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture f/1.4
Focal Length 85 mm
ISO Speed 3200

How do I measure the distance from camera to the subject, I use the EXIF data. But I need to look for such images first for images shoot at 1.5m distance.

I used to fine dine at hotel, ISO 3200 with 50/1.4 shutter speed just 1/10.
I wish I have better camera or bigger aperture lens with me blush.gif

Haiya, I was just telling the reason why I picked 85 f/1.4 instead of 135 f/2 mah. My main priority was due to the f/1.4 for low light capability... don't know why he keep questioning me sweat.gif

24/1.2 ? I doubt can make it. have you see the current 1.4 size ? it's already quite huge !
Probably 50/1.2G
Other range, quite hard to have it. Even Leica only have nottylux as their biggest aperture lens smile.gif
