A big sigh of relief ...

Good job on all of them. I think you need to level the fourth one they look like they are falling backwards. LOL

Well, I was trying to inspire the feeling of being "backed up" when you have the b-ball and the opposition is in your face. Perhaps, it is a bit overdone.

Short little runts on the other teams would always be hanging on my daughter and it would never get called but if she blinked the other way..

She would have nail marks up and down her arms..

They realy need a cut nail rule..i have seen to many kids get eye scrapes

That looks better.

Thanks, Frank ... that became the one I turned in for the story.

Talk about variety, my next shooting assignment is "fashion shots."

Wow, talk about the areas I have not gotten too deeply involved in. I was probably going to have to study this type of photography in the BAF program ... and, now, I am faced with it, head on, in a trial by shutter fire.

Time to break out the AF 135mm f/1.8 CZ and MF 85mm f/1.4 lenses. I figure the 70-200mm f/2.8 couldn't hurt, either. The 28-75mm f/2.8 is ALWAYS on the a850.

Anyway, I am on my way over to rescue my SONY 50mm f/1.4 from the repair depot. They say it has come back from SONY, so we shall see. Timing is everything.

Bummer, I was about to try to get that 35/2 off of you. I keep going back and forth on getting that or shelling out quite a bit more for the 28/1.8 to get USM.

Jason,

I have be waiting two years to unload the Canon "extras." Every time I looked over at the box of stuff, I got angry. I hate having things laying around like that, knowing some person probably could use it. It also represents lost revenue.

But, now ... ahhhh. it's gone.

[Elisha]

I was gonna take it off your hands this weekend as well.

[DonSchap]

You waited too long.

Look, a deal is deal ... when there are two parties to it, not just one. I serious wanted to vent all this stuff and carried on my gear list for all to see ... and no one really stepped forward, no matter what offer I suggested. Talk is cheap ... so when it can ALL go ... I say, adios.

[laydros]

I don't blame you for a second, and like I said, I keep going back and forth. I'll take this as a sign that the 28/1.8 is the right lens for me. Now where to get the money?
