The 60mm is a sweetheart. You've figured out its major quirk already ( the long rack movement between its telephoto/portrait range and its close focus range) and are learning to work around it, and you have taken steps to ditch the horrible giant hood and replace it with the square hood. (I use an Optech Hood Hat instead of a lens cap when I go out with a lens with this hood.)

You're well on your way to a pretty wide variety of high quality photographic experiences at a bargain price. Have fun-- this lens is very good company.

Thanks! Yes. It was mainly thanks to old threads by the folks here at DPR that I was spared weeks or months of misery. Now I just have to wait for my friend to come back from the US for Christmastime and I'll have my 35mm f1.4 hood too!
