Got one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=310105340796
Works REALLY well - as they say, 99% clarity - I can't even see its on the main LCD.

Maybe I should have said, the humble D40...
Yes, humble. That's good.
Ja, I know. They are very clear.
what about orms and sacamera?

How many people here are looking to buy a 50mm f/1.8 right now (Nikon or Canon)?
If it's enough I might just make a trip out of it

I'm more likely to go for the 24mm f/1.4 - don't use the 50mm near often enough - but that's pretty far down my list.

These primes are just so damn expensive 
The new 24mm f/1.4L is over £900

Nice lens for a 35mm camera, loaded with slow film. Just imagine what it could do on a 5dmkii.

Well, there is that idea in the back of my head - I have a Canon film camera with some Velvia 50 in my bag, after all. But I'm more thinking of the 40D. 24mm is far more useful to me than 50mm on a crop camera.
Hmm - 86 photos at 24mm* this year vs 3186 at 50mm (2972 with the EF50mm f/1.8) . . . I'm leaning a little more towards a new 50mm 
EDIT - to be fair, since I dont have a dedicated 24mm lens, between the ranges of 20 and 28mm I took 1416 shots.

For what? It all depends on what you use if for and I've found plenty of uses.
Maybe I should pack it away for a month and force myself to shoot recreationally with that 16-35mm I spent so much money on. It's just that I find the range so impersonal and boring.
Out of stock - I've tried all the online retailers and stores in the area. They say Canon isn't bringing in new stock until next year some time when the rand stabilizes.

I am - I think mercurial is... not sure who else. I don't mind ordering of ebay, I get a lot from ebay
just think a lens could be risky
Do some research - if there have been QC issues on that lens then dont - returning duds from here will be troublesome.I am - I think mercurial is... not sure who else. I don't mind ordering of ebay, I get a lot from ebay
You also have to remember that this is customs busy season so it could easily get stuck in a backlog. They recently had my repaired Xbox sitting at JNB for more than 2 weeks.
Yeh - I've been quite lucky two things I ordered last week monday arrived yesterday, one through customs.
BTW - you always online?

How do you get a breakdown of information like this in Aperture?
The 35mm f/2 is to more more like a 50mm on my film body - nice all round. I find the 50mm on the crop body far too narrow for being the only lens, if I have to make do with only one prime.
