PICTARS! OMG More Butterflies!

Nice shots. Where did you take them? Natural light or did you use a strobe?

The butterfly shots were taken in the Butterfly Conservatory next to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. All were natural light and handheld; I was on a bus tour and I hadn't brought my macro lens, flash, and tripod, thinking I wouldn't need them... so I made do with my 50mm f/1.8 + extension tubes + ISO1600.

Where are your aquarium pictars?

Not my kitty actually. I was getting my car fixed for something and the garage had a box of kitties. I wish I coulda taken one, but I go on too many trips and that kind of lifestlye isn't really conducive to pets 🙁

Yay! Jellies are SOOO hard to get sharp and detailed. The jelly tanks are always so dark to accentuate their colors, they move pretty fast, and you can't use a flash on them because it'll kill their natural colors. My mind's not flexible/abstract enough to just say "screw it" and take a purposefully motion-blurred picture. 🙁

Why's it called the budget bucket?

I love it! It's soooo sharp and bright. It's more or less my walk around lens. Yay!

Although a lot of people do have focusing issues with it...

A good copy is supposed to have the image quality of the 35L at about a third the price.

Sounds like a deal to me 🙂

Yup yup! I got mine used but in mint condition for $300. It's probably the sharpest lens that I have, even at f/16, it's minimum aperture. The second sharpest would probably be the Tamron 180mm, and the third is the 50mm f/1.8.
