    Re: 50mm f/1.8 Lens War Thread

    OK I know I piped up very early in this thread but I just want to say that this has been one of the best thread in a long time. Why?? Because the images have been incredible. You guys have posted some terrific photos. These 50mm lenses are great. Nice going guys.

    Why I don't have one I am having a lot of trouble figuring out.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: 50mm f/1.8 Lens War Thread

    So I'm getting kinda bored at our Chamber function tonight (Installation dinner & grand opening of our new office) waiting for the next change in agenda and decided to snap a few in between official shots. (btw, had the most horrid lighting under this big tent we set up for dinner...sigh)

    I looked around and saw this wine bottle sitting on a table (no, I do not drink...haven't for 20 years) and said, hey, photo op! Would be perfect for the 50mm thread. So here's another one.

    Marcus, great shots!!! And, I see you're a fellow Mac user. (Or am I deceived by your keyboard?) Macs rule!
