Jetmech1 Goldmember 1,198 posts Joined Dec 2004 Location: Charlotte, NC More info | Dec 29, 2005 10:14 | #26 The 50mm 1.4 and the 85mm 1.8 are my favorite lenses. I use them the most. I have always been in love with zooms until I started shooting with primes. They are the best bang for the buck. You will enjoy them both.

Ordered Thursday and receive it on Monday sounds like 2nd Day service to me, considering they do not deliver on Saturday without paying extra. If you wanted it Friday it would have been Next Day service.
