I got this lens recently from dgaies, it's a sweet lens that appears to have not been used.
I hope to change that, this is a start.

Very nice Riff - interesing colour too.

Our wind chill today is at -47C and forecast to get colder. It sounds like a good day to take some indoor shots!

Thank you Ash. It's lovely to read your comments as I think you have a discerning eye. The lighting was a couple of halogen bulbs, a 50 and 20 I believe.

Thank you canajuneh, much appreciated! It's been a freaky winter hasn't it, warm till now but very flat lighting and not very photogenic outside. No snow laden trees etc.

This is really beautiful! I love the textures and tones and there is such a mezmorific silky quality to it. The only downside to this is that now there is another lens to add to my giant wish list as im not mightily intrigued after seeing this cracker A work of art... love it!
