There are trees, bushes, and other foliage just a few meters behind the subjects in these shots, and as you can see, at f/2 everything melts into a smooth, creamy haze.

Beautiful lens, but not terribly practical, and at $6000 it's not a lens I'll be getting any time soon.
Yeah the cream cheese factory is nice but only useful for a professional that specializes in portraits. Not really good for anything else.
