Those are nice "tack sharp" photos. What program did you use to prepare them for web presentation

Thanks everyone...tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day so I think I'll take my daughter and new toy to the animal farm and hopefully get some good shots. Sure is a big difference in the quality of the L lense.

The "L" stands for luxury or low distortion. It also stands for drain the pocketbook....lol

Sure, your definition is basically correct. Actually, there is more involved. L stands for one of the best habits (for your pics) that you can have. And for one of the worst (for your family finance). Being L-aholic is a real drama, from a certain point of view.
