Hi all,

Where can I find this lens? I have looked online, even done searches and am coming up blank. Thanks a lot! :)

I think you've been searching for the wrong lens. There's no such thing as a EF 80mm f1.8. I think you mean the 85mm f1.8 - try searching that, there's lots all over the place.

The 85 f/1.8 is a great little lens.

or he could be looking for the 50 1.8 - the 5 on the numpad is right below the 8???

That's true, she could be thinking 50. Personally, I like the 85 better. :D

Somehow I doubt she's looking for the 50 though. If it was just a typo on this forum, then her other internet searches would still produce a lot of successful hits and this thread wouldn't be here.

Sorry, I was wrong. It is the 85mm. I guess searching for the right thing would be much more successful. :rolleyes:

OOPs.

"A boy and his father get in a car accident and are both rushed to seperate hospitals. When the boy enters surgery the doctor says I can't operate on this boy, he's my son. How is that possible?"

Sorry about that. . . there I went assuming again. :o

The surgeon is the boy in the accident's grandfather and the father of the father in the accident.

I thoght that - but Andy referred to the victim as the "boy" which threw me.

Ever heard of a female doctor??????? The doctor is the boys mother, I think. Am I right?

LOL......I didn't think that at first either. Funny how it can be so simple but we just don't pick it up eh?

But the grandfather would still consider his own son "boy". My dad still calls me that even though I'm 25.

Back on topic... the Canon 85/1.8 is a great lens for portraits and close-in sports action, and modestly priced. You'll have to pry mine out of my cold dead hands.
