Sports have action all over the field.  Rarely will you have every photography shooting the same direction at all times.

You can get a rough idea of how big it is (close enough to matter) by looking at the size of the joysticks and buttons in relation to the size of the body. It's roughly the same size as any other ...

The last time I was there, we literally had to dodge drug users trying to fist bump us with their needles sticking out from inbetween their fingers.

Amazing color in the water there.... Great capture.

I bought my 50mm F1.8D (plastic fantastic) back in 2000 for $89, if memory serves.  I think the grey market copy was $89 and the US market was $99.  I will likely never use the lens ever again, ...

Oh ok, so you know the state well.  Great.   But ill comment all I want, thanks.

LOL... i was reading your OP and going.. "there's just no way... "

There's no such thing as an amount of bokeh.

Nonsense. The bokeh is completely different. The 1.4 produces creamy satisfying bokeh (it's not the best in the world, but it's smooth). The 1.8 produces pure jitter.

The nifty fifty is a sharp lens, but suffers everywhere else.  I have both the 50 1.8D (the nifty fifty), and the 50 f1.4G. The 1.4 is a much better lens, and still doesn't really break the bank, ...

There are premade sensor swabs you can buy on Amazon, that fit your sensor size exactly (dx, fx, etc). Then you purchase lens cleaning fluid (you should have some already). 1) Read your manual and ...
