A question about portrait technique. I've done some portrait work recently with my portrait lens (FA* 85mm F1.4) and I'm finding that I like the results better with the aperture set one or maybe two stops down (i.e., at F2 or maybe F2.8) as opposed to wide open. It seems like the blurred background is somehow _too_ blurry at F1.4.
Anyone else care to share experiences and preferences in this area? Thanks, Mark Erickson
