Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM (II)

This month marks 20 years I've been driving my little Honda. It's been incredible. I've used it hard....like a truck!

Those Tundra are pretty awesome. I've been at the Toyota dealership 6 times in the last 2 weeks debating between the Tundra and the 4Runner. The salesman probably hates me at this point.

Despite the fact that the engine is going strong, the rest of it is just about to disintegrate around me!

I have the same issue with my crv.

I think you'll be fine with either. I'd prefer the 4Runner, but I'm not you. Just want to plug Toyotas, if you please. All of these were bought used. Got my daughter a Tercel with 195,000 miles on it. Ran fine. She wrecked in three weeks. Bought a '91 Camry with 50,000 on it. Tuned it up at 211,000 and it still had the original plugs in it. It was running fine when I played deer-tag and totalled it with 267,000 miles on it. I replaced it with a '98 Camry. That one was running fine when I took out a telephone pole at 243,000 miles. All three of them wrecked at highway speeds. Nobody hurt.

Take-away points. Toyotas are built to run forever. They are built to sacrifice themselves, and save you, in the event of a collision. And finally, don't loan your Toyota to anyone in my family. Apparently, we don't drive well.

^^I feel the same way! We are a Honda/Toyota family. We have a 2000 Sienna van with 165,000 on it. Studied snow tires and it is an amazing family ski rig! The civic above has a quarter million miles on it! I can't bring myself to sell it. I feel like it is going to run forever. It costs me nothing to keep it legal. Good for quick trips downtown where I might have to parallel park. The truck is the new camping rig. In the market for a camper shell. I'll post a shot after I get it all set up!

In an effort to keep the thread on track, here's one that while driving down the hill I was like...."Hmmmm, thats cool". I reached into the passenger seat for the camera, turned back, and snapped through the window. No camera setting changes. It was what it was!

I just took out this lens for the first time in a long time a couple weeks ago. I can't believe how sharp these images are, a great lens for the price.

Hi Everyone, new owner for this amazing lens in town

Reminds me of Arne Svenson's 'The Neighbours' series. Pretty cool.

Superb portrait. What lighting did you use?

Thanks! I used a 48inch octabox.

That is a nice shot...Sharp! Do you use a speedlight in the octa?

This one is with a single speedlight at 1/4 power. Haven't tested it with mono-lights yet.

Just picked one up used with hood for $295. Liking it so far.

This cutie had a terrible start of his life... but he is doing so well now.....
