Well I'll just say this...as respectfully and inoffensively as possible...

I don't know any of you guys, and I don't own a 35mm lens, but I know this-

Unless those galleries linked to in his posts are someone else's shots-Al Downie knows how to take pictures. I could care less f/this or f/that MTF charts or bokeh-Al can shoot pictures. Probably some of the best work I've seen on DPR since 2003 or whatever year I joined...

So...yea...the guys opinion has been backed up IN SPADES with real-world pictures. And when someone with his eye for composition, processing skills, and varied portfolio has something to say? Well I'll certainly give him an ear.

Nice work, Al. I really dig your usage of DOF. And I think your shots easily and convincingly prove there's a lot to love in those Ls...

Ok, back to the doghouse...

Just think, if every key-stroke was a shutter-press we would all be pros by now...
