I have not used a 85mm f/1.4 mainly one reason is I'm not that into portrait genre. I am more of the still life and sceneries kind of person. So when they mentioned about DOF is thin and OOF easily with recompose technique, I'm not much affected since I love wide angle perspective and its DOF is normally is deep to keep things in focus.

Even though as such, I personally feel composition and overall feeling of the capture way surpass the commonly discussed sharpness in the capture. That doesn't mean I don't value it. In fact I do and I was particularly affected by it, but nowadays I am more concerned about my composition because I personally feel it requires far more soft skills than just getting your capture sharp, which is nonetheless just a technical issue of photography.

If you can get your composition and story correct, you are already there. Sharp or not is a good to have but no longer a necessity. If your photo tells a sad story and makes the audience feels sad, it wouldn't matter if the picture is sharp or not.

Just my 2 cents opinion.

Well I am new in photography n I am here to learn from the best like yourself n the rest of the people contributed in this post. Ya is alway a trade off n those lens that u hv mentioned is only to be dream off lol. Tested the method that
Alan suggested is pretty cool n need to get use to the relocation of fp.
