new lens / fish tank photo

I haven't uploaded a shot of my fish tank since February 2005, so here is an update:

mangosteen was raving about 50mm f/1.8 lenses, I've been drooling over shallow depth of field images and fast lenses as long as I understood them (which hasn't been very long). And this one is relatively very cheap. And everybody else raves about them too. So I decided to pick one up to use on cathijosephine's camera which I've been using a lot until I decide if I want a Pentax or a Nikon.

This lens rocks. I haven't ever been able to get pictures of my fish anywhere near as good, and the improvement is similar for closeups. Adapting to a prime (non-zoom) lens hasn't been hard so far.

Although I've been starting to consider giving in to Canon just because of the ability to swap parts with every damn DSLR owner I know (including cathijosephine).
