Dante, you are now going to have to be careful. Focus on the nose and the eyes are OOF, and focus on the eyes and the nose is out. Ain't it wonderful. ;)

Thanks for sharing Dante. I now know for sure which lenses to buy: the 85L and the 70-200 IS. In that order: your post reversed it.

Are you going to prime her for a new lens or propose marriage? :):)

If I propose I will have to buy an expensive ring to. Then I can not buy the lens for the next 10 years or so.

You put me in a big dilemma here. Maybe I have to wait another 10 years or so for proposing and to buy the lens.

Isn't there a law that forbid people to lead others in to temptation and showing of with (fantastic!!!) lenses?

:cry: :cry: :cry:
