Maybe, but I bet it is in a restricted access section!

Oh boy, the bokeh ball groupies must be going crazy over that last shot!

So the whiners' "delay" turned into a "one day too early" for the lucky ones who preordered early.

That's the one where if it miaows in the forest with nobody to hear, does it make a sound, isn't it?

The only version I remember of that saying is
"If a man speaks in the forest where no woman can hear, is he still wrong?"

It's a woman's world, so the forest is theirs as well. So: yes, he is still wrong.

That thing's a 50mm?

Allow me to coin a new term: optical elephantiasis.

I think it's bigger than my 28-105.

I recently dropped my FA 50 1.7 and it's focusing ring moves but is too stiff to work with the screw drive motor. But I also think, there are a lot of places where I carried the 50 1.7 that I wouldn't even take that lens. It looks like great studio, fixed location lens, but, I don't have great studio, nor do I often shoot in a fixed location. But, I'm happy to see it available for those who need it. I wonder what the coming WA prime is going to be. I sure hope its a 20 or 24mm. 35mm just doesn't agree with me.

And I also hope it's ƒ4.
