		Nikon should provide lenses like the 50 f/1.4 and 35-70 f/2.8 with a hood. Freakin irritating to have to buy them seperately for insane prices. And the screwtype of the 50 cannot hold the lenscap, arghhhh!

 Fast and sharp.  |   
 
 This is my second favourite lens, although the earlier model of this was shitty! The new model is way better. My third choice is the Nikkor 12-24, also awesome!  |   
 
 Get a 70-200 VR man! Fav Nikkor I have.

 Yeah I want that one too!  |   
 
 Actually it is not too expensive for the quality it produces, you have to get it. The 1.4 is much more expensive but the quality difference is minimal.  |   
 
 Hmmm, I like the smooth creamy baby bottom bokeh and contrast of the 1.4 a lot more. The 1.4 seems to give images a little extra pop. It should for triple (or something) the price.  |   
 
 Did you try it out? It is not on your list! And yes the 70-200 is on my "to buy" list :)

 Not yet, but I did a lot of research on both because it is somewhere on my want-to-get-it-someday-list. But first I have to attend Nasti's workshop so that I can become a top portrait/nude photographer. It should earn itself back with ease. I have high hopes. :)

 Ah, good choice. I love using this one for shows.
 
 After getting the 30D, my upgrade for that lens is:
 
  
 
 EF 16-35 F/2.8L USM
 
 *sighs* I love L lenses. |
