^^ umm yeah. Chick-fil-a pretty much stands on its own. A couple of pickles and that's it. McDonalds actually made some attempt to do this, it is not bad and in a pinch it's decent. Fact is, if you can go to McDonalds and order something off the menu without having to alter any part of it then you're golden. Somehow every chicken sandwich I have ordered before from there with no mayo came with extra mayo. Their mayo is disgusting.

So chicken + pickle + bread = yum!

^^ Having strong political views is nice and all, but seriously, it's just chicken and this isn't PRSI. :D

Spent most of today out in the cold & damp doing stuff so I've got comfy and warm with a good book and these:



I normally get Hobgoblin and Banana Beer but I'm trying a couple of different ones tonight.

thats crazy. i can never find good deals on craigslist. best deal that i am considering right now is a g4 cube with 17" studio display for $200

That's exactly how I felt when I first started! :) Sounds like a good deal to me!

I bought it primarly as a portrait lens. I was using my 50, which effectively is more like 75mm, but it never performed like a true 75mm. Meaning you get the basic magnification without all the other goodies of a true prime. That said, the 90mm was smooth. I found it to be quite fast with the focus. Now, as a macro lens it'll be used in MF mode. The barrel zoom is about 2 inches, which is a lot for a barrel to move in and out on a macro lens. Probably less so on the Nikon 105mm for twice the price.

I have to admit, this is a good lens. When buying it I told the retailer that I was not interested in flooding my bag with cheap lenses any longer. While I started with some true gems in the film age, as I moved to digital it became price over anything. This is just wrong and I know better. The guy told me that if money were no object (meaning I said I was prepared to pay 2x for the Nikon 105mm) then he would still get the Tamron. I found that interesting because he only knows me for someone to come in, spit out exactly what I want, lay down the cash and walk out. I don't doddle.

As a prime it is great. It served me well the next day doing headshots. I found the bokeh to be nice and smooth, it handled a low-contrast cloudy day very well. I can't complain. I've tried a couple of test macros out but nothing significant.

My only complaint, if it even is one, is that it does focus slightly slower. It is so insignificant though that I can't really tell. If it were searching for a long time (like a 100mm prime I have from vivitar [another diamond in the rough]) then yeah, I'd be pissed.

Thanks for the neat walkthrough! I am thinking of buying either a super wide, tele or macro as next lens.

Why haven't you posted a picture of your new 50D :p

What did you have before you bought the 50D and how are you liking the upgrade? I have a 450D which I am really enjoying using at the moment but would not rule out swapping it out for a 40D or a 50D in the not too distant future.

I had a EOS 350D before and the upgrade can't really be described in words. It's simply far better. Those two cameras shouldn't be compared to each other.

Picked these up from Amazon last night after seeing them in the headphone thread. Hope they can get me through until I can upgrade.

Just picked up the Microsoft Arc. So far no complaints, and as an added bonus it really does complement the macbook

I also picked up a copy of Fallout 3 and The Orange Box to run under bootcamp. I was surprised to find that on medium settings the macbook runs Fallout 3 really well. As for the Orange Box, wow with a little adjustment to the settings I think the games look gorgeous...had a blast playing episode 2 last night.
