I’m curious. Your photos look great, but you are listing the lenses you use as L-series. I had the 50mm 1.8, and the 35mm f2 a few years ago, and as far as I knew, neither of those are L lenses. Were these shots taken with the 50mm 1.2L and the 35mm 1.4L? The only reason I am asking is because I have the 2 L lenses, and am about to do my first newborn shoot. I haven’t had the time to play around with any practice shots, so I was out looking around for what the depth of field is going to look like using those two lenses.

Oops! So sorry for those typos. (Thanks for pointing them out to me though so I could fix them) Yes I was using the 50mm 1.2L (not the 1.8) and the 35mm 1.4L. They’re fantastic lenses.
