It had just come in the mail that afternoon so we walked outside and took some random pics.
Bar lighting usually sucks. No that's not Asian glow! We were sitting under some red light.
I'm so surprised that these flowers came out really clear. I think b/c the guy was standing under a white light.
That lady is Sarah Jones, a Tony award winner. She did this amazing show for us. This pic was taken w/o flash and again I can't believe how clear it came out. Hand-held too! I <3 the new lens!
This is a crappy pic but I wanted to show how amazing this lens is in low light. It was pitch black in La Jolla and my friend insisted that she saw seals. None of us could really see anything, but we could make out some movements though. I decided to take a picture (w/o flash of course) to see if there were really seals. And yep there are! My friend has GOOD eyesight, haha. Mine are so lousy, I want Lasik someday!
I wasn't really happy with the quality of this photo b/c the lighting is ugly. But omg what a cute cupcake!!!
With the exception of the first two pics, the rest were all taken in SD. None of these pics are the quality that I'd like them to be, nor did I compose the pics all that correctly, but I decided to post them b/c I'm still learning how to use the lens. So, works in progress. :)

congrats with the new lens....if you like the f/1.4, you'll like the f/1.2 even more =D i expect tons of pictures from you with this lens from here on out
we'll stick with autofocus for the time being, so i guess f/1.2 is out of the question. 1.4 isn't the easiest lens to work with either!
yay.. low light photography! =P
your flower pic n the pic of Sarah Jones on stage are the sharpest because of the additional available light that allowed you/Jer to stop down to f/2.5 and f/4.0.. not too many lenses are great wide open, particularly so with large aperture lenses.. so you're probably getting the best combo of resolution and bokeh if you can get away with shooting at f/2..
i'm saving for a 100mm f/2.8 1:1 macro lens.. =P
my FAV by far is the one of you pointin at bokeh! hehe.. that's grreat! =P
I'm so jealous, I might drop the 300 for the 1.4 - but i like the 1.8 too. You can manual focus the 1.4 on top of the auto focus with the canon lens.
