I got the exact same lens for Christmas from Hubby. I have been snap happy for a few weeks now. I say SAJ, isn’t Toby a photographer? Don’t you get to play with funky lenses at home?

As always, love reading of your tales and it is so much fun to hear of your trips to the Actually’s.

Ok… I have the 1.2 and love it except… I am still having trouble with the focus and using it for portraits. It’s tricky and I’ve been told once you get the hang of it you will love it! Still playing Ü

Lucky person who bought the plate. I hope you will making more too. I really don’t know anything about lenses but a friend who makes you yummy looking croque monsieurs while you do your laundry is a friend indeed :)

Heh, lens envy. I feel bad that I’ve flaunted my 50mm in front of you without ever asking if you’d like to take a picture with it. I still have no idea how to use my camera properly but the 50mm is like magic.

yes, my 50mm lens is my favorite lens. It’s tricky with no zoom, but it’s worth it for the amazing images!

karen, I think those pants are actually a beige color. At least, I don’t remember SAJ ever wearing pink cords!

And oh yes, we offer full-service laundry to ALL our guests. We’ve gotta bribe people to come visit us somehow. ;-)

The plate would be the perfect thing to stack with madeleines as I pine away for Paris… Will you be replenishing the stock? (Please say yes!)

Ok, so I want all of your pants. Is that weird? I would NEVER buy pink corduroys… but yours look exactly like something I’d wear. Maybe it’s the fancy-schmancy lens?
