A slight difference in DoF due to the plane/axis and a little vignetting Eric.These shots are “to spec”. The buyer wanted little more than the sights in focus, preferably with a perspective that was more “down the arrow”. Basically seeing what the shooter was seeing, with “focus” on the sights/pin placement. Not unlike what you might actually “experience” in the field…aka “tunnel vision”
Tried a couple “test” shots before hand with the 85 f1.2 so as to further reduce the DoF but found the angle of view too tight as well as the DoF. Also found that by going below f2.8 background elements were “too” obscurred. So it was a case of trying to find the happy medium.Thin DoF with enough separation to throw the BG out, yet maintain enough form to convery the “suggestion”.
