Its out of respect for my fellow posters...MANY times on these large image-heavy threads,
I have posted a comment and had relevant stuff be bumped to a has-been page while my single
smart-a55 comment is the first thing on a new page. It takes the viewing of items intended for the
enjoyment of others to second-class status in one shot. Only the people intent on seeing what
they missed usually ever go back several pages and see that stuff. The majority of people look at
the last page and move on. Watch, I bet this comment ends up being the first one on a new page, lol....
As far as the lens is concerned, I know photographers of skill and means would look at the pics and
say, "you call THAT sharp?...its KINDA sharp, but nothing like you can get with XYZ lens." I have to
keep stressing that I began this DSLR journey intending to only buy the cheapest body I could get,
and only taking used lenses that were basically being given away. And the main reason I am so knocked
out is the price, yes, but the fact that I had to focus it manually, WITH MY OLD EYES, and against all
odds, hand held, I could still get a shot that looks as good as those do. THAT is why I can't stop talking
about it, lol. You can take a great photo with any camera or lens, obviously, but as much as I did not
want to ever admit it, there IS a difference with a well-designed, no compromises lens. I am just happy to
have at least one, and now two, that I can be proud of, and mostly stole em, lol.
This is my favorite thread. There are only a few of us here, but we keep it interesting. I appreciate
all the sharing everyone does. It's "what's in your smoker" without the meat.
