First Portrait, New Lens

My new (used) Zeiss 85 mm portrait lens came today, and the first portrait I tried was of Maria. This lens is my first manual focus lens, and while I sometimes shoot manually, it will take some getting used to. I like it so far, it has the most beautiful depth of field and Maria went about her business patiently while I annoyed her by taking photos of her. I like this one, the lens is exciting for me. But I have some learning and experimenting to do.
