Re: I bought a new lens today
Hi Gary, Thanks for the tips. I figure flare is something to watch out for on most wide angles, with that big (for a prime) front element. And, now that you mention it, I went to check the front of the lens. It wasn't loose, but it unscrewed rather easily. I'll keep my eye on that in the future. thanks again, frank Gary J Sibio wrote: > I've had one for a while and, as long as you watch out for flare, it > produces some very nice results.

Re: I bought a new lens today
I've had one for a while and, as long as you watch out for flare, it produces some very nice results. Be careful of on thing: the front of the lens tends to unscrew a bit on mine. I just make a point of checking it from time to time and tightening it up as needed.

Hi, Dave, I believe that "evil laughter" would be written: "BWAA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!" Or something like that, anyway. Just in case you ever want to do that again. Anyways, I'd never be mean to you. Where would I get "new" gear if I pissed you off? cheers, frank David Chang-Sang wrote: > You guys are being mean now :) > > You just wait..
