Kyle, were you able to get this lens?

No :(. Just as I was about to pull the trigger, someone else offered more than what I set my high limit at. Then concert season came and the need to rent some glass, then some mini vacations and that budget was lost. Still peeking ebay though in case something else comes along.

Amazing! Really good one... I can't even imagine how you did that with the lens retrofit...but looks like it worked VERY well. :)

There were a lot of Amazing pics this month and this was a close call. Which one really caught my attention? Several. But after quite a bit of deliberation, bremer takes it again with this almost abstract view of mountain-top grass.
