Well My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful shoot today. The 105mm lens performed admirably. I'll be posting one of the images as soon as I get permission to do so. The sharpness was incredible. I did have to do some minor fixing on the eyes but that was mainly because we were shooting a 7 month old and he just wouldn't stay facing the direction we wanted him to face. I had to borrow a catch light from his left eye for his right eye and dodge the right eye a little bit to bring it out. I also sharpened the eyes a little just to make them stand out but I didn't sharpen anything else. The camera was set to 1/125th of a second with an aperture of f/5.6.
I'll also include a lighting diagram but just to let you know we used three lights and a white reflector.
For the main we used an Alien Bees B1600 coming in from camera right metered at just under f/8.
Fill was a 5 in one reflector using the white side from camera left metered at f/4.
We had a kicker coming in from back left with a 20 degree spot grid metered at just under f/4 as well.
For the background light we used a Nikon SB24 with a brownish yellowish gel. The background was a black cloth.
