Thank you Phinix. I am glad you enjoy the images shown in this thread. There are indeed many great photos here.
I believe the most important thing is that you get to know your camera first, if it is new to you. Read some books specific to your model and set it up correctly. I personally would start with a kit lens first and get my "feet wet". In my opinion the key is to take a photo with the proper settings to begin with instead of correcting mistakes in PP
BTW, I purchased my Nokton 40/1.2 used from a FM member here.
