Today at around 2pm I had my Nifty delivered to my office. Nifty was bought used from craigslist for Fifty dollars. Once I Nifty was in my Hands I went up to my 3rd floor Office and immediately placed on my XTI.

Nifty was exited so he took a quick picture of Mickey sitting on my desk.

Whao...look at that DOF and Focal Plane Nifty Yells out!

So, Nifty wants to go Outside. We walk around one block and he says...Look at the new building. It looks like it will be cool and industrial.

After a block or so Nifty tells me he is tired from traveling all day and that we should head back to the office so he can rest. On the way back we pass a Native American art store. He likes the colors on the pot so he takes a shot.

Nifty is resting comfortably now. I think I like my new friend.

What a great story. It's funny how the cheapest lens in Canon's line-up can bring so much enthusiasm! I agree 100%. I love that little piece of plastic. It looks and feels like crap, but it is an outstanding little lens.

It's a cheap little piece of plastic that feels like a toy in your hands... but it sure does live up to its name - nifty fifty! I love my nifty and it looks like yours is serving you well, too! Nice shots!

I swear by my little plastic fantastic, he lived on my camera all summer, I never needed to take him off, and has only just recently been replaced by a fine piece of (gL)ass
