A delayed condolences on the demise of your FA50/1.4 It is always sad to lose a trusted familiar companion like that.
Short summary: when you get your 55mm, you may still miss your old friend the FA50, but you will love your new friend! It happens that I just finished my Blurb book on my 2010 Costa Rica trip and, moving on to my next To-Do, have re-started work on my Blurb for Rome 2009. I hadn't remembered making this decision, but it seems that I did Rome all on primes. I think I had one or two zooms with me as back-up just-in-case but LR analysis of the metadata says it was all primes. So, a week or so in Rome and 60+% of my images were with the DA*55/1.4, about 20% with DA21, most of the rest with the DA15 and a few DA100 macro. What got me thinking about this is that, as I was going back through the images in LR, I kept noticing shots with really nice color and sharpness and started thinking about what lens was I using at the time. And DA*55 was the answer. stan On Oct 2, 2011, at 4:31 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: > Yes, but it may be a distant horizon.
