Lovely photos ..

Anyone know what the lenses were ? I think I see the 70-200 F4 but there were 2 more I am not too sure.. maybe a 85 f1.8? or was it a 50 1.4? .... and the new 70-200 F2.8 ?

Lenses?

i was too busy looking at the results and watching the process

Honestly, the lens plays only 1/4th of the role into the result. It's the photographer's interaction with the models, the model's confidence and comfort, the light modification by all the crew on hand, and of course, location. I didn't really look at the lenses either. When Zhang says "I'm dying to work with him, and my dream becomes true." that sums it up.

Allotting 25% of the credit to the lens is about 24.99% too much.
