The "pop" of a bare 400 2.8 IS

[Romy Ocon]

I was testing the MFA of my 1D4 + bare 400 2.8 IS this afternoon and this playful stray kitten provided good target practice. I used an off-center AF point in AI servo to place the thin DOF accurately on the eye area. The very thin DOF, combined with the creamy bokeh of the bare lens, gives a pleasing "pop" to near subjects.

And here's how the exposure looks in RGB histogram.
