    C- those are beautiful. They're better than some of the pics that come standard on a Mac as desktop choices.

    Nice glass!

    It took me a minute to figure out what was going on in the second and third shot. But I’m a little slow.

    Great shots!

    It was tricky to get the AF to fix on that thing. Shot it with AF and manually, that one was AF.

    Cool pics. But I don't understand, what does glass have to do with it? Or did I miss a reference to an old AKPM post?

    Well I stand corrected. GREAT GLASS! I’ve heard and read nothing but great things about those lenses.
    One day when I’m cool, and not living pay check to pay check, and can put the $$$ I want to towards photo gear, I’m totally getting the 24-105.

    It was either flowers or the crazy whacko homeless dudes that wander the alley's around the loft. The flowers presented a better test of the gear. I'll be doing an depth study of urine stains and empty Mad Dog 20/20 bottles in the coming weeks.

    That L series glass has mad DOF and luscious bokeh. Me likey. I'm looking to round up some urban BMX / skate park punks to destroy some clothing soon as well.
