Darnit. I sold it to a guy about three weeks ago, on the way to St. Augustine the Friday before Christmas. $90. Damn. Now I want it back since I found my D70 so I can autofocus the 50mm.

Bombay Company is going out of business. We visited them while at Countryside Mall today. We picked up a gigantic roll of silver wrapping paper for $1.00.

I haven’t shot this thing much at all. I haven’t even left the house with it yet. But, for my own future recollection, I’m compelled to note the following:
IAt about ISO 500 and 1/30th of a second at f/1.8, this lens creates slightly brighter pictures than my eye.
I was actually hoping to be able to shoot such shots at more like 1/100 sec. but this is very good.
