Happy Birthday Chris O'Meara!

By the way...
Isn't the Shuttle Launch on Thursday?

I would think the Mosquitos should be hatching in huge numbers right about now

Good times, good times

Thanks Carl,  looking for a blood transfusion in a little while,  Mosquito's haven't seen people for 3 months.  Launch is Thursday afternoon 4:50p

SCHEDULED....

I think we have a long history as to when the launch actually happens compared to when it is scheduled

of(you never got back to me which of the L series primes would
be a wide angle variety,right now leaning twards the 24 1.4
as I have a 50 and 85 for primes.... which would be a killer trio.
Then let the 70-200 2.8 be my outdoors natural light workhorse)

Anyone who picks up tomorrow's (Friday) TBT may recognize the adorable belly of Dazey on the front cover! I painted her to illustrate the stories they're running that day. Should be articles inside on NudeNiteTampa, tattoo events & other items relating to bare skin; it's the Skin Issue!
The editor said she wanted "edgy", so we'll see how much of Dazey they crop & how much they leave in!
Please enjoy our latest tear sheet!

Congrats!

Anything wider than 50mm, approx view of the human eye, is considered wide angle.

So which of these would you personally recomend then...
Or should I just try them both out at point of purchase?

Depends on what you're looking for.. On your camera, 35 has the perspective of a 50mm on film, the 24mm about 39mm on film...  So neither will be as wide as their numbers imply but the 24 will be a closer to a true wide angle.. 

I'd try before I laid down that money..

Same here.......
Though I think I`ll be seeing Bri at the Iron Maiden show....

I`m thinking the 24 as I think the 50 covers what the 35 would..

And from what Ed was telling me I could be in some tight spaces
where I would need the shortest glass possible

Nope, the 50 has the look of an 80mm lens.. 35 has the look of a 50mm....

You could also go with the 14mm L..  You're looking at a perspective of about 22.5 mm.  This is also a 2.8 lens..

Maiden heck yeah

How tight of spaces are you getting into.  Getting super wide will distort your subjects to various degrees.

I have not been to any of these places yet....to be honest I really
don`t want to go below the 24  1.4...because I loved how the
28 looked (when it was crisp,which was extremely rare)

I kinda am looking for something where I can get full body shots
at a relatively close range as well for some commercial/
lifestyle stuff I will be doing much more of....
the 28 was so blurry  for this it was useless...

Is Joey still alive??

I was just talking to Ice about that today
I've sent him an E-Mail and tried calling him within the past couple of weeks and have heard nothing back

He must be out of the area working is all I can figure
