Last week, I got a box in the mail from a nice little company called B&H Photo Video that I had been waiting for. Unfortunately, it came right in the middle of a nasty cold that left me feeling, well…nasty. But I instantly felt a little better when I opened up the box.

I had been wanting this lens for a loooooooong time. And it felt good to finally get it. It’s a 50mm, fixed focal lenth (read: no zoom) lens with an aperture beginning at f/1.4. Can you say cool?
It’s great for pictures where you want a very small depth of field. Like this…

Or this…

These were my Valentines Day roses from my parents. They made me smile
. And the 50mm made them look pretty nice, don’t you think?
That is very cool! It looks like you are going to have a LOT of fun with it.

Great Job,
