Rafael, love the photos of coffee beans in light of the conversation that has been happening on the thread. I don't know whether everyone here knows that you come from a region of the world where coffee is grown and that it was part of your youth before you came to this country. I love the cultural richness of this thread with folks from such varied backgrounds who are doing such interesting work. That is one of the reasons I encouraged folks to create short bios for themselves in their profiles. It is also one of the reasons I'd love to be able to sit around a table with a glass of beer and chat with EVERYONE who shows up here. Of course, it would be especially enjoyable to spend time with the old timers who've hung in with this thread over the years. I understand though that in the business where you spend you working hours, you couldn't really say very much... The old joke... "If I told you what I did, I'd have to shoot you..."
Enjoy your new lens Rafael. It is a beauty, but then we could say that about ALL of your gear.
Wonderfully kind as always Curtis, ff we sat down to talk I could actually tell you a lot that is open information, but I would never post it. We may yet do a San Diego or San Anselmo photo shoot. As I am so short on time, I might just set up some good light and start posting photos of my gear.
