85mm f/1.8 vs. 50mm f/1.4

I was considering selling my 85mm due to money shortage, but after comparing these two shots I took with the two different lenses – Hell no…

Notice how the flowers in focus look about the same size but that the flowers in the back seem much closer on the shot with the 85mm (left).

Also, the bokeh is circular on the 85mm while more hexagonshaped on the 50mm.

I suppose each serve their purposes, but I’m definitivly keeping the 85mm… and the 50mm for that matter. They are both awesome lenses, and I’m extremely satisfied with them both.

Steve Prefontaine leads in his 3-mile heat on the first day of the 1973 AAU track and field championships, followed by Army’s James Crawford, and the NYAC’s Dick Buerkle, June 14, 1973, at Memorial Stadium, Bakersfield, CA.

The AAU championships followed the NCAA championships on 7-9 June. The AAU meet was somewhat anticlimatic and the the meet was characterized as the no-show instead of the Big Show. When the athletes finished their non-appearing act, trials were needed in only five of the 15 events scheduled the first day. Lack of competition in nine events forced officials to move those who did show up automatically into finals.

Even Pre was bored with the show. "My mental attitude was not really into this," he said after winning the second of two heats in the 3-mile event. "It was kinda Micky Mouse."

For several days, area track fans heard report after report that Pre would compete in the mile against Marty Liquori; some reports had him going for Jim Ryun’s world record of 3:51.1, set in Bakersfield 6 years earlier.

Not so, said Pre. "I didn’t even open my mouth,"

"Pre was surprised as anyone when he read it in the paper," said Oregon coach Bill Dellinger. "There were no plans whatsoever for him to run the mile here."

Despite the meet later being called the Cop Out, the Pre Out (of the mile) or the Big Bore, Pre handily won his heat. Taking over on the sixth lap of the 12 lap race, he remained in control throughout the remainder of the race before letting up at the finish.

Heat finishing times:

1. Pre (OR) 13:17.8
2. Dick Buerkle (NYAC) 13:19.0
3. James Crawford (Army) 13:24.0
4. Paul Geis (OR TC) 13:26.0
These four were among the six qualifiers for the final.
Two other’s qualified for the 3-mile final in another heat:
1. Mario Perez (Mexico) 13:22.3
2. John Hartnett (NYAC) 13:28.6

Apparently couple other non-qualifiers were allowed to run in the final since they appear in the final finishes.

Pre won the 3-mile final in 12:53.4 on June 16th. For someone who had run America’s 2nd fastest 3-mile ever, Pre sounded very nonchalant.

"My heart wasn’t really in this," he said minutes after won the race. Still, he had come within .4 second of Gerry Lindgren’s 1966 US record, and had become the world’s 6th fastest 3-miler.

Despite his achievement and beating his own previous best of 12:58.6, Pre insisted he "had just been running to win."

"The meet," Pre said, "there just wasn’t anything to it. The announcer was putting people to sleep."

The crowd of 9,200 didn’t fall asleep watching Pre and others perform. Five meet records were set the evening of June 16th.

Pre led the first lap of the 3-mile in 66.3 seconds and stayed ahead until 9th place finisher Mario Perez of Mexico took over at the mile running 4:23.1.

"I didn’t want them to dally around," Pre said of his early pace setting effort. "I wanted them to work for it."

But after Perez led for two laps, Pre was back in front. He stayed there, pulling ahead of Buerkle by about 10 yards with a half-mile to go and increasing the margin to 40 yards before sprinting the final lap in 59.2 seconds.

"That was a pretty hard effort," Pre said. "The competition was very good. Buerkle ran a hell of a race."

3-mile final finishes, June 16, 1973:

1. Pre (OR TC) 12:53.4 – beats own ’71 meet record; 2nd US best; 6th world
2. Dick Buerkle (NYAC) 12:59.8
3. John Hartnett (NYAC) 13:06.4
4. Paul Geis (OR TC) ???
5. ??? (Wisconsin) 13:16.2
