The best deal for a 50mm 1.4 is probably from our local patron Birddog114. However, you need a minimum of 30 posts to buy from him.

Welcome flyfisher.

I would say post like crazy - pics here there and everywhere.
That lens is well worth the effort I can tell you.

Cheers

If you take rokkstar's advice and post like crazy, be careful not to post senselessly otherwise you'll catch the eye of a moderator or admin. :)

Pretty much.

So try to avoid it.

We're not vindictive. Well... they're not.

It remains to be seen if I am or not.
