Photo-John's Picks

[Photo-John]

I don't know how many of you have looked at the 2006 Choice Awards, but this year I added a new category - Photo-John's Picks. These are things that, for whatever reason, didn't make the Choice Awards, but I thought deserved recognition. I just posted a new blog entry where I explain why I chose my Photo-John's Picks. And not only does it detail some camera gear that I think is very cool, it also shows off our new blog system

Thanks for posting this John. Because of it, I just ordered my wife's Christmas present to me...a Canon EF 50mm 1.8 lens. :thumbsup:

Just what I needed for all the low light shots I seem to fight with using my other lenses...not to mention just what I needed for indoor portraiture.

Glad to help

That lens really is a winner - as are the 50mm lenses by Nikon, Konica Minolta/Sony, Pentax, etc. And I think the 50mm will really compliment your photographic style. Plus, it's not gonna too hard on the wife's Xmas fund

Precisely, especially since the wife wants a Doones and Burke handbag...gulp! :cryin:

But then again, she's worth it and so much more.

I am grateful that I have no idea what that is

Yeah where's Adina for a translation when you need her?

[schrackman]

my bad...it's Dooney & Burke handbags. Overpriced if you ask me. But that's what she wants, so that's what she's gonna get. Here's the one my wife wants (elephant with amber trim): http://store.dooney.com/OA_HTML/dbib...20&st=kw&cpg=0

I saw a link over to the right for "Gifts Under $100."

She'll understand

For that price, it better be real Elephant skin!

But really, my wife looks at my expensive toys the way I look at her shoes and purses. So I understand. That's cheaper than most photo equipment we own. If it will make her happy, it's worth it.
