Hi beebee,

Welcome to the best forum in the world.

I just looked at your gallery and I say "Glad you have you on board!"

Enjoy!

Chirpy,

Master of Macro.

You sure maintain the high standards of this forum's close-up team!

Supurb!

Nathan,

George's long-time love of the leather bag has been like a siren's song to me for a few years now.

Your recent endorsement finally sealed the deal. I see it every time you contribute now!

I can't wait to take this lens for a run on both film and pixel.

I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas - how many more sleeps before it arrives?

See?

That's the kind of selfless service we just don't get over here.

Aw Crap! This is getting complicated!

Hefty,

DEAL! That 1.7's a classic! So good in fact, I'll take another!

As Nathan would call it - 31 Beautiful (Silver) Millimeters has been ordered.

I had problems getting a 43mm Limited lens here in Canada, and Pentax had no ETA on restocking.

This may have been a good thing, as after my rash decision to get the 43, George advised that the 31 would be a better DSLR fit, and I found one.

So, after virtually doubling the PayPal, she should be on her way. It's easy to see that the 31mm Limited is very popolar here by how its price has climbed.

Know what? This is the first piece of photo kit that I've actually bought new! And I've got a TON of gear!

Matt,

Thanks for this!

Interesting to note DOF difference between f1.4 and f2.8.

If you need it, I can post a couple of images showing the kind of setup I describe

YES PLEASE!

Matt, I'll bet there are many of us following this thread, and I too, would love to know as much as possible about this.

Thanks in advance,

Katie,

Just looked at your site and - WOW!

Don't let her "I'm a blonde" throw ya folks!

This lady knows what she's doing!

Cheers,
