I ditched my Canon 35/1.4 after spending half an hour with a lighter in the middle of the night trying to find the hyperfocal distance for f8 on their stupid little screen, with their stupid focusing ring with short throw and no infinity stop. In the end I missed the shot entirely, frak this.
Not sure whether to laugh or not.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with a co-worker the other day, who\'s struggling with shooting from the hip these days. I suggested he stop down a bit and then preset the focus by scale. He pulled out his XSi with 35L attached.
