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!"

    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.
