just got my almost-new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 in the mail today, and took a couple of test photos to make sure it was operating ok. the shallow DOF is a treat, w/ creamy bokeh on the side. yeah, i'm turning into a photo geek.

nice.

I should be receiving a sigma 18-50mm wide angle in the mail by weds/thurs. one of two or three lenses I didn't get out bid on.

that lens is supposed to be a keeper, real nice.

i was looking for a fast, wider prime for concert shots...hopefully this fits the bill to a T.

I've always liked the bokeh of that lens.

That, and the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di macro... :drool:

Let us know how it performs for you.

I drank part of a Corona when I was in Ohio at my inlaws. I couldn't finish it though. I made a valiant effort, however.
Are you ok? Are there any ill effects? I will rush a Dogfish Head if you are in critical condition.

Yeah. In the form of a Corona. :dead:
I'm guessing you don't have any taste buds anymore after a steady diet of that New Belgium sewage :dead:

i love dogfish 90min IPA as much as the next hophead, but i'm not gonna drain 3 of those after cutting the grass on a hot day.
You caught me before coffee, I would drink a 90min after mowing the lawn if it were that or the Crapona. But I usually stock my fridge with hefe's for summer beers. MMMMMM...Circus Boy, Swetty Betty, and Sam Adam's Hef.

Sorry for the confusion, I hope I have not offended anyone, especially the hefe's...

I had an IPA after mowing my yard on Monday evening. Just one.
...after? Man, if you're going to be a suburbanite, you gotta drink it "While" you cut the grass.... or that hedge you have in the back yard.

Nothing wrong with a cold Corona on a hot day.
I prefer Pacifico or Dos Equis, but a juiced Corona is really hard to beat, just drink the little bit that's in the neck of the bottle, then top it up with Bacardi Limon. Very refreshing on a hot day (Better when using Pacifico, but Corona is still good)
