I wanted to update the list of people which I have done to include the new people that have posted recently. I would however like to place some suggestions about the lens

1) since this is a travel log of the lens I think one of the shots should be a location shot i.e. your cities welcome sign or something like that

2) that the thread is updated with when you are shipping the lens out and to whom it is going, and if possible letting us know it gets there as well

3)That when you have taken pictures that we update the Flicr account something that has been lacks because the password went missing but I have it so when you are have the lens email me and I will give you the password

Had a good shoot yesterday in Cork. Robbie finished up his stint with the nifty fifty and handed it to me over a pint. When we had finished traipsing high and low over Cork for the afternoon, I passed it on to John over another pint. (That's the way we do things in Ireland. )

A shame I didn't get to use it in Limerick, but it was actually more interesting for me to use a new lens in a new city.

Some from my set

Rufus!


Location Shot






The Hi-B where Robin, John and I met up for the afternoons shoot.





and another take on one of Cork's Cathedrals



Google maps tells me that the lens travelled 1274 miles or 2050KM getting from the Azores (Netuser) to me in Cork. Robin added a good 5 miles in his afternoon jaunt with John and me

Yeah, it sure felt like 5 miles walking up and down hills in the sun. Lovely time however. Nice work on those shots!

I'll post a couple of the very best shots here, but in the meantime have started a separate thread so as not to overload this one. Check it out for street and architecture shots. Oh, and a swan!

More to come soon.

Looking forward to getting this. I had forgotten about the lens for a while there. Very excited that it will arrive here. I'll ship it on very quickly to whomever is next in line. Fantasic project.
