I think that writing `77` was superfluous here...

Agree with that, shows every sign of what my wife calls our magic lens.

Hah! Thanks fellas

My wife calls the 77mm our magic lens, which I appreciate. The only problem is that she has it permanently affixed to her yellow brick, and I can only get it by special request.

sorry about the pet picture but this is a quick snapshot with the 31mm and it turned out nicely. first thing my brother said about this picture was 'wow its so 3d'. i love the way this lens renders everything.

great capture. Plus I love bulldogs. English or french

The main, really only, regret I have in using the 77 on crop sensor cameras is exaggerated focal length. Using it inside of buildings, I keep backing up until my back touches the wall! Seriously, this lens lends itself to exploration. It can turn mundane everyday scenes into artwork. I would definitely advise seeking out some human models and shooting them wide open--well you know what I mean! Good luck to you as you explore the intricacies and capabilities of one of the world's greatest lenses!

I thought your wife had the 77mm

what do you bribe her with so you can use it

Whilst this is true, the other side of the coin is that you get better reach, that is if you want 24mp vs 16mp (from the K-1 in crop mode). I shoot public speaking events where I regularly enjoy the additional 'zoom';
