Leighton,you are providing some very printable work. Great Job
Too many to comment on. I am trying to catch up again
So I am going to mention the ones I don't like

This is from my back window, don't think I've posted it before, but this was taken today. A vertical composition, lots of white space.

fantastic Ray - your "Almost monochrome" was good too - but this is such a bold composition.

There is a cousin on eBay with the factory converted aperture ring . . . item number 221171310111

Very nice Ray. Love the minimalist stuff you post; you've got a keen eye for lines, shapes and structures.

Reagan, the car in the second photo is awesome, and then the action shot in the next, nice! How do they get there to the park? The roads can't be wide enough for those wheels.
Would it be possible to fit your car onto a chassis like that? Or would that be hugely sacrilegious?

Hope you guys don't tire of yawning dog photos

Fantastic Chin! More please!

Just crazy, Reagan. Love it!

I have a very small budget to play with and am thinking about an 80-200 with the square baffle. Anyone have a line on a decent one? My budget again is small (have someone interested in my two AF lenses) and should be selling them tomorrow.

If I can't score one of those, I am considering the Series E 75-150, but really want the extra reach. I am also in need of a short zoom around the 18-50mm range. What's good and inexpensive here?

Great shot Chin :-)
Great shot, Ray!
Really Good shot Reagan :-)

Seems to be no shoot today either when it is raining today .. may take
one from yesterday when at least it not rained for a whole hour ;-)
Almost identical to last one .. iso 3200 and f2 . Bokeh is lovely on this lens :-)
almost directly from the camera .. just a little more black and added darken/lighten/ center in Color Efex pro

Kevin, I see them all the time on ebay for under a $100. If you can find one WITHOUT a loose zoom/focus ring, grab it! Otherwise, just put up with it, they're worth it no matter what.
