How often is it that the first image entered with a particular piece of equipment yields a blue ribbon? I had to post this today because tonight it will be followed by a 5.2ish image! ;-)

I had noticed, and was stunned... Talk about that new equipment mojo, wow!

Dang! I knew I should've waited with submitting a Leica shot for a challenge until I had something worth submitting! :)

Said the Baron to the laird. Wouldn't it be nice if we all could do that? :-) We pensioners have to pinch the pennies until they squeal, unfortunately. That's why we buy used Panasonics from ribbon hogs like you...

Says the man with one more ribbon than me!

I asked Jason (

DrAchoo) yesterday if 10 ribbons made me an official ribbon hog. He said I have to at least get on the top 50 ribbon winners list. Right now that's a least 13.

I'll race ya!

Well it happened again!! ;-)

2nd time I've entered a challenge with a lens' first DPC entry and got a blue.

I gues I just need to keep buying new glass!!

Who knew, money can buy ribbons!

That's pretty cool to do that once but twice is Unreal. Most people will never even have the first entry with a piece of equipment much less ribbon. Closest thing for me was getting a blue ribbon on my first entry with my D600, it was also the first 7+ image and first ribbon for that body.

The question is: Why are you bothering to use any other lens?
