I have been using nothing but my 50mm (shooting film) for more than a year now. Not something I made a conscious commitment to do, it's just how I find I shoot anymore.

Also glad you're sticking with the group. ~nick On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 12:39 AM, Andrew Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > First, let me say thank you to those who e-mailed me with suggestions > on how to enjoy this mailing list and send some specific messages > straight to the circular file.
