How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice set Harry.
    The little blue is so sharp. It makes me want to get a 1.7 tc.

    Thanks Robert. I've bene very happy with the 1.7. It has minimal effect on the IQ. Its biggest negative is it slowing down the AF.

    Nice work as usual, Harry! I like the first one best. I like background in contrast to the face detail.
