Visited Third St Stuff today. Took my camera.

This is the first good day with the Tokina ELF28mm 2.8. The more I use it, the more I like it.

1. #2 just knocked my socks off!

[alfredo]

2. Thank you. Many legacy lenses are low contrast, but this one isn't that way.

The sharpness and contrast is very good.

[ohheckyeah]

3. Really crisp photos.

Love the one with the chair, but all of them are impressive. Where were these taken?

[alfredo]

4. Thanks. They were taken at Third St Stuff in Lexington, Ky

The lens I am using is manual, so I have to take my time to get the focus right. It's the best $28 I've spent on camera gear.

5. I've never heard of Third St. Stuff but

it likes like a very cool place.

I'd say your money was well spent on that lens. Where did you get?

(Damn, I'm full of questions, aren't I?)

6. The owner is an artist that promotes public art. Our town is more colorful because of her.

I got the lens at eBay.

7. I love people who support the arts.

Thanks for the info....I may bid on one of those on eBay.

8. She seems to have very good organizational skills. That's what we needed. We also

have a progressive and openly gay mayor. He's really been good for the arts and minorities.

I'm off to bed. g'nite

9. Night - sleep well. n/t

[alfredo]

14. I did.

10. I love the locks.

#5 is awesome...both the art and the photo.

3rd Street looks to be a great place.

11. There's a pedestrian bridge over the river in Salzburg (Austria) that has thousands of locks

connected to the fencing on either side of it. It was amazing. Locks are sold
in tourist shops so you can put up your own. I'd never seen anything like it.
Cool idea.

See what I mean? If I hadn't been walking with hubby, I probably would have spent a lot more time trying
to get some better shots.

12. That's so cool!

13. Thanks. They make good coffee too. They are my source of

Oatmeal Raisin cookies.
