It's not fair what I did to this lens. I tried very hard to create flare. On normal shots it's a fun lens. I would have been happy with a 24mm lens, but for the price, you can't beat it. I've seen them on eBay for $100 - $150. Indoors is another story. If you are going to use a flash, then a Stofen or equivalent is mandatory. I've used the lens at a previous TOPDML, both indoor and outdoor (St. Lawrence market) with good results. My other lens the same day, was the Tamron SP 70-210/3.5-4, which is a superior lens. > > Also, what do you think of PBase? Making up an online > gallery is another step I was thinking about. I haven't used PBase much but it's a great service. They rely on donations for support. I feel guilty for not having done so yet. Cheers, Jeff
