But that's all mentioned in another thread as we all know the teacher says no telephoto lenses for portraits.

I do love the results of your lens and when I get some thicker pockets I really think it's something worth buying. BYW, let your wife know she's a beautiful subject and the lens was only the tool used to capture that. Thank you for the comments, I just got a chance to test out the lens and couldn't think of a better subject than my beautiful wife "You are going to fall off a cliff trying to get a better shot someday"- My hopeful and loving wife

"Here, you go sit over there & I'll pretend to be a nature photographer who stumbles upon the love of his life"  Or did she not want you to stand too close while taking the shot??  Or was the 50mm left at home??Ah, just joshing, if I had that lens I'd want to use it as often as possible too Nice shots of your lovely wife with a great lens, thanks for sharing Yep, the old 300.
