Visual darkness, that is a stunning set! I hope to do half as well.

Thanks!

I just realized that I didn't post the last ones.
Can you tell that Uppsala is a real student city by all the bikes everywhere?

I have now had the Nifty-Fifty for a bit over a week and have got the chance to take some photos with it - What a great lens!

I will be taking a few more before I pass it on but here is the first batch. You can view more as a set on Flickr.

Very nice shots.
Does anyone else want to be added to the list or will it retire once it reaches the last stop in the US?

Kozlok · 03-01-2014, 09:01 AM

Arne, those are stunning! Really beautiful shots.

StudentBoots · 03-01-2014, 09:15 AM

Seeing all these great photos reminds me that I should probably post mine too... At the time I was trying to upload them flickr was being difficult so to this day the only place they exist online is this Exposure post.

If it's coming this way it may as well do some rounds of Australia too.

Registering my interest.

This reminds me of the 'travelling mju' on /p/.

**crewl1** · 03-02-2014, 02:11 AM

We've had our share of adventures. The current 50 may be the third or fourth perhaps?

mythguy9 · 03-02-2014, 04:08 AM

If the lens reach me in Brisbane in July, I will be able to shoot with it in Brisbane and then in Malaysia and Singapore! PM me thanks. :-)

I'd love to get on the list here in Baja California Sur Mexico.

I'm no master of photography, but I really do enjoy the story of the Traveling 50. Let's keep it going! I have three of my own 50s and l am quite endeared to the focal length. I'd be happy to put a roof over its head for a bit before letting it travel on!

I am located in the US (right in the middle).

**crewl1** · 03-02-2014, 10:11 AM

Please keep in mind that you should try to use the lens as quickly as received and plan on shipping it to the next host within a week or two at the latest so everyone has a chance.
It is hard to predict when it will actually arrive due to all sorts of reasons but the main thing is to keep it traveling.
If we can get more than one person in each country the list may be rearranged to accommodate.
Cheers!

Still looking for a volunteer to take over management of the list.
