    That is a really nice lens. It's one of my favorites, although I don't use it as much as I used to. I use it more often than my f1.4 (expensive, over rated, cheap build). I've had both the 1.8 and 1.4 in both EF and FD, and both cases, I liked the 1.8 version better.

    That's good to hear! It will be nice to have a least one really fast lens. The rest of my lenses only start at F4. I didn't get it yet but will be getting it any day now.

    NO.
    My younger brother is into golf and he got all kinds of golf gear. My older brother is a surfer and he got surfing stuff. My mom is into cats and so I got her a stained glass piece with kitty motif. My aunt and uncle are into keeping a spotless house (no shoes please!) so I got them some nice decorative doormats for their vacation home here. My youngest brother is into XBox and so he got a bunch of games for it.
    I'm WAY more into photography than anyone else is into their interests and NO ONE GOT ME ANYTHING PHOTOGRAPHY RELATED.
    All I really wanted was the RC-1 for my 7N. It's only $25 at B&H. I guess I'll just have to get myself a belated present... I wonder if everyone was trying to tell me something...

    Re: Did you get photo gear for Christmas?

    I always get "you are sooo hard to shop for." I have a four page Amazon wishlist, not to mention my B&H wishlist, though the latter is really just a list of chemicals and toys I need to order for the darkroom (for my own referance).

    Photo related:
    Night Photography, Andrew Sanderson
    Bogen Monopod
    Pecker (that's photo related, right?)

    I gave someone a red Zorki 5 and might be picking up one for myself because I really didn't want to give it up. It would be great for street photography - something I really want to get into.

    My birthday is in a couple of weeks and I'll hopefully be reporting on this:
    Pentax 24/2.0

    Re: Did you get photo gear for Christmas?

    Don't worry outdoorsman, the closest thing I got to something photo related was a a small print of a Ninja sportbike (made up of tiny photos of naked girls LOL It's the best!) and some socks that I'm sure I'll be wearing when taking a photo someplace

    I don't mind, I'm happy to even get a card from a friend... and my boss gave me a nice bonus which paid for the gifts I bought for people, and an eBay upgrade to a 6.3MP D60 and grad ND filter from B&H...

    Merry X-mas to meeeeee...

    Re: Did you get photo gear for Christmas?

    Hey, my mother bought me diamond earrings and what she thought was free companion airfare from sears - that turned out to be bogus because you had to purchase the originating ticket through some company sears did the promotion with and they were charging $500 for one ticket to Washington state - it's only $250! So that's not free! I asked her why she didn't get me the lighting equipment that I asked for instead and she said she didn't want to get me something work related. Hello?! It's not just work, but hobby as well! Funniest thing is - I wear earrings about once a year! lol Thank god my man got me filters - at least he knows what I like!
