thought I'd snap a quick photo of our wildly popular shrimp basket.

K-5, M-28/2.8, f/2.8, ISO 100, 1/160 sec.
good food shot, makes me hungry (though shrimp is not often part of my
diet)
Thanks, Steve.
It's not generally part of my diet, either. I like it, but I'm just kind
of burned out on everything we serve at work.
i have been using FA 28/2.8 quite a bit lately (same focal length but
different optical design); i have an overall preference for manual
focus, but at that width (and wider, e.g. also on DA 15/4) i've come
to trust autofocus more; partly because it's harder to see the
in-focus detail, partly because the depth of field makes an AF miss
less likely, and partly because the AF on those lenses is rather quick
and quiet
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who struggles with that focal
length. I guess I need more manual focus practice, anyway. I may look
into the FA version one day, though. I don't have any primes shorter
than 50mm, and I bet it would be a nice lens for landscapes.
