Ain't nothin' wrong with that sharpness at f/1.8 !

you got a Fifty? Cool Hokie!

Yep! I've had it a while and love it; it just doesn't make it out of the bag all that often other than family photos, which I don't really share online. There are a few shots with it on my Flickr randomly disbursed. It's sharp as a tack, that's for sure.

f/2.5

^^ Cool pics! Did you use tubes?

Those flowers are lovely Will; great shot after the rain.

My only real problem with this lens (aside from its five-bladed aperture, which can be annoying) is that the bokeh of thin lines close to your subject is harsh. Here's a recent example. I like the photo other than the harsh bokeh of the sticks/pine needles behind the subject.

Thank you! I have been using tubes recently... but not for these particular shots
