Hi guys,

Here is a picture with my new lens - yippee (50mm f/1.4). This is my first effort at using it. Gave it a test run at the Sydney Motor show. The photo is not the best I suppose but I was just after the capability of the lens. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Regards,
Bill

Nice and sharp Bill, I'm thinking of ducking in to the Motor show on Fri as I wait for my NZ flight. Any problems taking camera into show?

That is a lens I want to buy for low light situations. It's a nice sharp photo. Looking at the "Toyota" logo ruins my eyes though. :) Those red letters make my eyes water on this monitor. Are those letters grainy too? I can't tell. I wish I could see more of this car, it looks very interesting.
