Reply #6: I learned something about lenses recently that I did not know [View All]

Apparently there is an industry tolerance of 5% on focal length accuracy. Now I suspect that Nikon and Canon (and ??) are true (as testing usually confirms) to the advertised focal length. It's the secondary market brands that seem to drift off a bit. Some going beyond the 5% allowed. Just a FYI for those considering buying lenses.

priller.... love these photos. IMHO if you ever want to make some coin doing this photoemgraphicalistic stuff you should look into doin' people/events. If not, at the very least you're going to have an amazing family scrapbook.

bokeh smokeh. The photograph of lovely Cindy is still very nice and the faux macros are wonderful.
