A few weeks ago I was having problems with my f1.7 50mm. AF wouldn't work, AE wouldn't work, camera wouldn't recognize it at all. Being my fastest lens, I wasn't happy.
The other night I decided to give it another try, and all went well. I guess it was just a dirty contact something, but it works just fine now. I took a few test shots in the kitchen, and I kind of liked this one - don't know why, but I do. Nothing spectacular, just a little still life in the kitchen, I guess: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2011/04/bookshelf-in-kitchen.html Brought to mind a few questions, though: One would think that How to Cook Everything Vegetarian would be smaller than How to Cook Everything, vegetarian options being a subset of Everything to Eat. I really like some of the titles, like the Good Food Book. Do you think they test marketed the Bad Food Book and the Mediocre Food Book before they settled on Good Food Book? My favourite title is Eek Cooking. I joked with my SO that it described her cooking style very well. She restrained herself from striking me. Of course, it's just a rip in the dust jacket, the proper title is "Greek Cooking". ;-) Hope you enjoy this simple still life.
