What lens to use for Dante vs. Petkal Ducky Shootout ?

Jag, that's an excellent idea !
You have to do something for me first:
Keep an eye on the duck population in the ponds of Richmond Hill....we need plenty and we need them hungry. So we ain't hitting the ponds before mid November.

Alright. Mil Pond was packed either way. The pond I was at yesturday near mil pond had one mere swan and some other duckies. Center street pond also was fairly limited, one Swan I believe as well. My birthday is in Mid November btw, :P.

Lordy, Lordy......your "take-no-prisoners" training shows.
I don't wanna kill the boy, I just wanna maim him, make him limp, if you know what I'm saying.

Well then, just use a lensbaby

I don't wanna Dante to have my baby ......that's not an appetizing thought, Permagin.

Sorry, but it's your fault, you started it.

I say talk is cheap. Use whatever, whereever. Let's just get to the point...and see what you guys can come up with. Three shots each...as mentioned. Let's go at it!

Don't hold back, condyk

When's the deadline? I'm anxious to see the results.

However, the contest is not on yet (officially), before the moderators sanction it and accept the judging duty.

Good lord. You could buy a chick, raise it tame and get some fantastic studio shots of it by then. Take your time, guys!

I vote for the 50/1.8 in a prime vs. prime deathmatch.

Not on your list, but imagine the tears when a $70 lens defeats his 300/2.8.

I like that. The lens price ratio is outworldly.
one little problem though....I do not own a 50 f/1.8 any longer.
However, I suppose i could buy one specifically for this contest shoot and then sell it afterwards at a major profit:
"The thrifty-fifty which defeated the 300 f/2.8L IS USM: only $270.00 !"

Sign it and make Dante use it to shoot soccer pics for a week and I'll take 'er!

I like your macabre sense of humour.

You want one again? I never use mine, will sell cheap!

I likee how you think whiskeryz, but a bloke of Pet-kals calibre would never stoop so low as to raise a 'subject matter' ... well, actually he couldn't stoop without the help of his wet-nurse, but that's not the point. He is a man of honour.
