this is awesome!! thank you so much for sharing!!! i'm definitely going to sign up and get points :) :)

and those are beautiful photos!!! i've had the nifty fifty for a few years and i rarely use it. i really should use it more!! i always forget what a great lens it is. fixed lenses just drive me nuts cuz i'm so used to constantly adjusting the focal length.

Thanks! This is my first prime lens so it's strange not being able to adjust the zoom. LOL But even just with a few tester shots, I was so impressed with how it looks.

I also have a macro adapter (since I can't afford the 60mm macro lens I want yet) and on the 50mm, it works really good - again, just on some test shots. So I'm looking forward to trying more with that combo.
