One Lens challenge - 03-02-2007, 06:18 AM


Ok, so the 50mm one did not do so well, so lets try a shoot, one weekend with just ONE lens, whatever kind, your favorite lens. Then lets post the results in the General Photo forum. How about it?

I agree with Brad. I thought it went well too.

I do like the idea of a 1 lens challenge too. This got me out shooting all weekend because of the 50mm challenge!

No it went very well. - 03-02-2007, 11:23 AM


Thought it worked out great. It had me out shooting at all hours and in all sorts of places with a 50.

No, I would say it went very well.
