Just do whatever the hell Roof does. He seems to have life figured out. Spooning tigers and flying all over Europe.

Btw, Any updated on Carls bumper?

Heck no. I only have a stock lens and the nifty fifty prime. Had to sell my speedlite a few months ago. :/

I've been wanting an 85mm prime for when Dominic is born and because there are two weddings in my family next year.

I love my 85mm. Stand 50 feet back and get a face shot. haha. Why not just get a 24-70 or 24-120mm? Great all around walking lens. The 50mm is nice, but you'll start to see why even a 40mm lens is better in terms of bokeh and cropping.

Bored at work. Currently doing yo-yo tricks in the customer service section. Think I might fly my mini drone around in a few. Try to land it on the CEO's desk asking for a raise.

The 50mm is cheaper though lol. It was a birthday gift from my mom.

Are you going to take advantage of the "push" party fad? You should since the gifts are for you and not the kid lol

I'd look into the 10-20mm also. Sigma and Rokinon make fantastic models. I rented a 14mm before. Wasn't astounded by it considering you're using a lens like that for wide shots. The bokeh was phenominal, but felt out of place considering it's for full detail to begin with. And look into a macro conversion kit. My buddy actually prefers my kit over his macro lenses. Far more adjustable. It's funny hooking one up to a 400mm. This is what I have.

If you don't have an 85mm by the time it's needed. I can ship you out mine for a few weeks. I only really use it for portraits.

I do a lot of landscape shots and star trails more often than anything else, hence the want for a wider angle.

I enjoy taking creative shots of things and if someone happens to want a copy, I'm happy to let them pay me something small for it.

The fastest way to ruin a fun hobby is to start doing it professionally.
