          GOD, i can't wait to use it! I only took 3-4 pictures so far the thing focuses so fucking fast! Iknow I will probably be getting the same lens as you Finn but the Canon version.

          If I had to wait any longer though, I would die.

              Ok, so here are a couple of test shots with my new lens, the thing is crisp as hell! It again… focuses soooo fast! I still like MF better than AF though, unfortunately that would take too long with this lens, so I will just use AF.

                    Thanks, well IMO keep the 18-55 as you really will not be making that much money off of it and wait until you buy a new lens before you sell it since zoom lenses are there for when prime lenses can't get the job done, if you know what I mean.

                              the last shot, not to get you into too technical a conversation since I only speak three languages (english, broken english,  &edjit) . . . but how the hell did you do that?

                              really nice

                                    Thanks Monday! Well basically what I did was set my aperture halfway between low and high and pointed my lens towards the sun to only get a little of the sun in the photo but only enough to create that effect.

                                    Then I went into photoshop and converted the image to black and white (using a 'special' method) this way I could then use the brus to fill in the certain areas I wanted the color to be in.

                                    Edit: Here is the original photo actually so you can see what I changed.

                                          Thanks Rafa! I am really liking the second picture. So suttle and reminds me of a picture taken from a film camera.

                                          Also I am thinking about not keeping the lens. I am starting to think I should have gone with a prime either 50L or 35L. If anyone could convince me otherwise please tell me. Then again I haven't really been able to use this lens to its full potential, but I also don't mind having to walk up to things to manually focus and I am thinking portrait photography is the way to go! I am going to be using my lens at 35mm the next couple of days.
