+1 BTW...I love cats.

Among the many admirable qualities of cats, they are independent, generally discriminating as to when & how they show affection and as RBB image demonstrates "endearing" is often also quite high on the list.

In previous note was speculating that the way RBB photo was rendered didn't require that one be a cat person to fully appreciate it.

Also quite impressed with various images that have been posted with the Sigma 85mm 1.4. Seems like a worthy alternative to the SL 90 F2 which I happen to own.

Indeed sometimes it does, but most of the times my personal impressions of the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 are that it's a bit clinical. I actually prefer stil my old Canon 135mm f/2 (but little cat moves to fast for my manual focus skills ;-)) I don't know the SL90, but from what I have seen that one is really special.

Hi Rob, I really appreciate the added perspective on the Sigma 85mm F1.4.

The SL 90 F2 is an exceptional lens. Its anything but clinical. Portraits taken with the Sl 90 are exceptional in every respect.

Case in point whenever I'm considering selling a lens, my wife's first comment is "you're not selling that portrait lens are you?" with a concerned tone in her voice. She doesn't know the SL 90 F2 by its model designation, but she's come to appreciate the outstanding results (a creative artist and fashion designer by training)

That said up until recently I've not used the SL 90 often enough to justify the high cost of ownership. Thankfully I've started to use it more frequently for landscape photography, in search of simpler / minimalist compositions. With increased use, will be in better position to resist the temptation of selling the SL 90 in favor of Sigma 85 F 1.4 or other worthy candidate.

Nachalaot (Google translates this as "properties") is a district of Jerusalem built in the 1800s, and this was the poorest part of it.  Given its location, it is pretty popular now

A winter walk in the lost village - former military training area - now centre of a national park. From this perspective it looks not too bad,  hidden by trees there is the old school building and the church from the original village, which was given up after WW2.  (VE 24-90mm)
