Hi People,
I'm measuring all my Minolta lenses to see which are a potential problem with
the EOS 1ds Mk II. And although I'm not sure how this relates to the topic I
have to tell you ....I have to tell someone since my wife yawns and can't take
her eyes off her Maeve Binchy novels when I try to tell her .....that I now
have two 55mm Micro Nikkor 28mm lenses...one for my old Nikon Photomic Ftn
(that I rarely use) and one for my Eos 1Ds Mk II that I use a lot. This lens is
becoming my favorite. It's just phenomenal. I was using the Summicron 50mm but
I think the Nikon's better. A lens that I almost invariably reach for when I
can take only one lens. It's Sooooo sharp! Great bokeh! Wow!
