Post your best current shots

Thank you, Steve! I quickly took a few shots and didn't really check if any adjusting is needed but so far I don't think it does.

Thanks Steve and Denise. I like the buddy shot Denise ("Please don't take my ball... please don't take my ball... ") :)

How is the 40mm? At first I thought about getting one since they're cheap, but then I figured I already have the 50mm. The 50mm is working just fine for us, and it's nearly the same length as the 40mm, and the 40mm is not as fast. So my second thought was what's the point in picking up a 40mm, even for cheap?

I know you weren't terribly happy with your copy of the 50mm. You've had the 50mm, and now the 40mm. Ignoring sharpness, just considering field of view, is there enough difference to make it worthwhile to own both?

Thanks, David! IMO, no reason to have both the 40mm and the 50mm. I wouldn't have bought it new since I didn't really need it at the moment. I still have 50mm covered in two zoom lenses but when I saw it listed LNIB for a super cheap price, I snatched it up. I think it's a great little lens and if I end up with only a couple inexpensive lenses in the end, at least I will be able to keep shooting to some extent!

I've never used the 40, but it appear to be a perfect pocket lens.

Here's a quick shot of my little mate Bo Jangles, the inside cat, that loves his rare adventures outside.

Very nice shot, Brant! Nice compostion and your settings were perfect!

Thanks Denise. It felt good to be out shooting again. Other than some family stuff at the holidays, it has been awhile.

You came back with a bang Brant great moody image, one of your best.

Brant, I agree w/ Denise and Steve. That's the best of the fog series, nicely mysterious.
Btw were you standing in the water?
