 Sigma 85mm EX DG HSM f/1.4 An amazing lens I have just started using, supplied by our local authorised Sigma Distributor Tudortech. They are using my images for a national advertising campaign discussed here.

As you can see from the EXIF this was shot at f/1.4. I chose the non traditional profile shot rather than a Marque Badge, bonnet fade shot to show off the remarkable shallow DOF of this lens as well as dreamy BG blur.

It's a track race car. That's the recovery tow hook.

Great "catch" on the ad campaign Harvey, congrats.
I am obviously no car "fundi". The thing looks like a wind-up toy to me ;-).

I like the reach yellow too. Also, take a look at jagar's portfolio - he has done a remarkable milage with this lens.
