I am crippling jealous of your lens. And your art.
Very nice! I want to get a new lens… a macro would be nice but they cost so much.
woah hawks eye in high-res? :D
Nah..it’s some chick that hawk knows.
wicked lens, dude.
Your eyes look pretty sweet with the new lens. Congrats on getting them!
hm not my eyes.
Really? Well, whoever’s eye it is, it looks amazing. Again, congrats on the new lens. It takes a real sharp photo.
One of these days i will get a camera of my own….
niiiiceeee….
I demand pictures of the Hawk one sporting these new lenses!
That sort of yummyness should not be withheld from the public!

I just bought myself a new camera, Nikon D80, and a 16-85mm lens. I cant wait to get some more use out of it. I have a few friends who want to do some photo shoots, among other things of my own. THis is MY first DSLR, but i love it.
Cant wait to see what you do with yours.
I got the D80 for Christmas, and I’ve been trying to get as much use out of it as possible. Magnificent camera, though. I’ve got a kit lens, and am debating what kind to get next. Still deciding… but man, I’ve sure gotten a lot of requests since I got it though.
To all you Nikon people out there with a kit lens wondering what to get next: Get a 50mm f/1.8. It’s $85 or so on Amazon and I use it more often than my two $800 zooms put together. Learn to zoom with your feet, and reap the benefits of a 1.8 aperture. It’s perfect for portraits and also great for anything indoors (basketball, concerts, etc.)
Meh.. 50mm on a crop cam isn’t the most usable focal length (around 80mm). The aperture is nice, though, I use mine a lot at concerts, but otherwise I prefer my 17-50/2.8.
The Sigma 30/1.4 is nice, though, and on a crop cam (which is the only cam it’ll fit on, unfortunately) makes a neat ~48mm, which is close to the 50mm that used to be standard back in the day.
While I do admit that I wish my 50 acted more like an 85 than a 75, I find the range usable. And the Bokeh is just amazing for a $85 lens, or even a lens several hundreds of dollars more. I’ve heard good things about the sigma too, but it’s going to be a while before I can compliment all my zooms with $400 primes like the sigma 30/1.4
