I don't think so. What I mean is, the way her arms are crossed, she LOOKS static.
But then, you were there, so I defer to you.

...and this is a hand held shot. Later, I'll post some portraits I shot with it. Perhaps even some 100% detail. You're looking at a tiny web image, Raimo, and drawing unfair conclusions.>

Yeah, soft is correct... no matter who swears by this lens. The girl is soft, too. All the best! Raimo K

The lens has a nice, soft quality about it. I like that, and the bokeh in
this pic looks pretty decent as well.

Decided to spend a few minutes trying out the FA 80-320/4.5-5.6 that I bought this week. I know it's not highly rated -- it's obviously a consumer zoom -- but I'm rather pleased with it. I shot people walking down the street with the camera set to continuous autofocus. This young lady was probably the most photogenic. This shot is at 320mm, f6.7 @ 1/500, ISO 400. I'm beginning to really like autofocus zooms for informal, just for fun shoots. Until this year, I had never really shot with a zoom and had never owned an autofocus camera.
