My new FA 50mm f/1.4 arrived in the mail yesterday. Woohoo! I took it for a spin around Rockefeller Center today for some test shots. So far, I'm very pleased.
Also, last night, while surfing, I discovered the existence of the Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fisheye. After reading reviews and seeing a bunch of samples, I was in love. I slept on it and I was still in love with it this morning, so Nate and I agreed to do away with pretense for Christmas and go for Mutually Assured Destruction (TM) instead. So I ran down to B&H tonight and grabbed one. The build of this thing is incredible! And the case it comes with is actually useful. Meanwhile, Nate still can't settle on a wide angle solution. He's torn between the Tamron 17-35 and the Sigma 12-24, but that could change at any minute. At the rate he's going, at least I'll still be able to surprise him with the battery grip. :) Needless to say, I'll be out shooting this weekend. :) Amita
