Ho ho ho!
There are two reasons I like this shot and feel it is worthwhile.
1. In Spain it seems they sell Coke in a can with one shade of bright red on white very simple, not like the UK. I like the look of it.
2. I have owned the FA31 (bought 2nd hand form a forum member) for 6 months or so but I havent had much time to use it, so I have not really appreciated its qualities until recently. Indeed I had thought it perhaps less inspiring than I had anticipated until I thought about it and began to use it more. So in this picture I really, really like the way the Coke can seems to be set in such a 3D space and I really, really like the way the sharpness of the Coke can blends away so smoothly to the sooo smooth and buttery background. Otherwise, yes, just a snapshot of a Coke can. More to follow!

Ah I hadn't even noticed that the can is different to UK ones. Partly because I don't drink fat coke anymore, and partly because they use the same bright red can in much of asia where I've spent most of my life.
Sorry for the wisecrack about your lens btw I think you've already got some of the legendary 31mm pop in that drunk photo of your bro playing golf.
