Good idea to save it - it's expensive to buy - healthier than pork of beef fat, but not as healthy as olive and other vegetable oils. Tastes really good though. There's a bar/restaurant in the east side of Milwaukee (The Horny Goat, if anyone's interested) that does their french fries in duck

The only thing I don't like about the 31mm is the fixed lens hood, (I've only handled one once so maybe it's not a bit problem, but), it seems that might be problematic when it's used on an APS-C sensor camera. On 1/1/2014 12:32 PM, Juan Buhler wrote: Thanks Bob... The idea of the 20-40 was re
