This is a very well built lens that optically delivers the goods.

I'm on a different computer right now and the monitor is way off, so I can't really tell if it makes a difference, but you get the idea. I find myself wishing more and more that I could replace my 35/2 with a 35/1.4. I could really exploit the more shallow DOF, and the extra stop wouldn't hurt either... I love shooting wide open in available light. Seems to me that light works its' magic best when there isn't very much of it around. This has been a great virtual workshop for me. Thanks again. I'm working on a bunch more stories and will post 'em soon. Liam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
