What'dya get? Whadya get?

UPS should be dropping a 50mm 1.8 lens off on my doorstep today.

Glad to be sharing the excitement of a new lens with someone else! Depending on what lens you got, I may be adjusting next week's theme accordingly! Smile

$750 US
It's a badass lens though. I'm still learning how to use it. Up close, the dof is extremely shallow (like 1/4 inch!!). I'll be posting more pics from it hopefully tomorrow.
