What do you think? Can I do food photos w/ the 85 f1.2? I know it doesn't focus close at all but what if I use extension tubes?
Or should I just order the 90 ts-e?

Gary C-G said:No. Unfortunately no food photography cannot be done with the 85/1.2. There's actually a disclaimer on the side of the box "No food photography with this lens".
Looks like you're out of luck. That superb isolating power which would have worked so perfectly when shooting across a colourful plate of food, drawing the eye to the focussed cener of interest and throwing the rest into a fantastic blur of colour.
Ah well! Lament our loss and all due to a silly rule by Canon.
I think food photography is allowed with the TS lenses but couldn't be sure as I've never read the boxes.
;-p

You're amazing, you read my mind! I was just about to link your website to guide the discussion for Tristan.
So instead of starting a new thread, let me welcome you here! We're so glad to have your talents and experience shared with us.
Just as a theoretical challenge question for someone starting, could you manage, if you had to, with a 50mm lens, getting the needed DOF by stopping down and use PS to simulate limited DOF where needed.
