Thanks James. I'd print this up to 8x10 without even thinking about it. If the owner wanted larger, I'd do a test print first, but in general noise is less of an issue in print than on screen.

Most of the highlights are below 250, but there are some 254's lurking in there. I think I could bring them back pretty easily.

I got the 85 1.4 to shoot my first indoor (canine freestyle) event and am thrilled. I actually traded in my D300 to get it and don't regret the decision for an second. My wife plays second shooter for me now and then so I'm thinking about getting a second copy.

If my day-job ever cranks up again or if I suddenly have some more disposable income, my next big lens purchase will be the 200 f2. There will be a couple places I wont be able to use it, but I can get away with f2 at most of the indoor venues I've worked so far.
