Dante, just saw your post. Really sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will come back to you soon in a brand-spanking-new shape and this incident will be forgotten like a bad dream.
Good luck.

I highly recommend these. They're almost as sticky as what wide receivers wear to catch footballs. Come to think of it, the 85 1.2 is almost as fat as a pigskin.

I Could here them in the background i'll try to explain to Shannon and Nathen the sorry tale of your broken 85 1.2L in the hope it will make them see that there are people worse off then them Lol I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes.

I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

More info | Dec 31, 2005 10:14 | #39 I should have added, this lens is 2 days old and have not dropped it yet, I guess thats why the lens barrel is reduced to oval shape near the lens mount. many would not get there hands around this lens, it's huge.
