Kay English Ooohh mama!!! I never tried that lens before. Was it so awesome? I noticed there's a Hova filter... do you use them on your lenses now? 07.28.09 - 8:47pm

meg He He...too funny! Well thanks for the VIP info! Great work...you rock! 07.05.07 - 2:27pm

Jasmine* Hi Meg! I don't use a polarizer so I guess I wouldn't recommend one...and I highly doubt you want to know what filter I'm using after reading Becker's admonishment below!! ;) 07.04.07 - 8:11pm

meg Hi jasmine, what kind of Hoya filter did you put on that? Do you recommend using a polorizer? 07.03.07 - 3:39pm

Tiffany Thanks Jasmine~ I just ordered this from Adorama~ :) Thank you for being so kind and sharing your tips!! :) It is very appreciated! 07.03.07 - 11:42am

Jasmine* Hi Heather and Tiffany! It's the 28mm, 1.8 and I bought mine at Samy's Camera in Santa Barbara, but you can find one pretty much anywhere on the Internet...I hope this helps! :) 07.02.07 - 5:35pm

Heather I'm so intrigued about this lens. But I can't find it on the Canon website. What f-stop is yours and where can I find one? 07.01.07 - 8:27pm

Meg Yeah...prime lenses pretty much rock! I have a 28 too and I love it. My favorites are also the 50 and the 85mm. Those three are the top 3 I use when shooting. Prime lenses make you move more to get the shot too...less lazy! I think of it as lenses that have a dual purpose...one - you create cool pics- and two- you burn more calories while shooting with them ;o) 06.29.07 - 8:28am

Evan Laettner Jasmine, Your work is looking great. Prime lenses rule 06.28.07 - 11:45pm

Heather Cole Jasmine, What a great lens! I loved your pictures at the workshop so good purchase!! Miss you. 06.28.07 - 9:09pm

Angel Barnes i would love to see some more pics posted using this lens :) how fun! 06.28.07 - 7:40pm

Christopher Grisanti Jasmine, I agree with [b]. Many years ago, I couldn't figure out why my sexy 70-200 2.8 wasn't sharp. As soon as I dumped the filter. . .ZAP! Razor sharp. C'mon, you can do it1 06.28.07 - 6:56pm

Shy The smell of wet pavement? hmmmm... That's odd..haha But I guess I can't give you too much of a hard time because I get excited over SPARKLY cement! ;) 06.28.07 - 6:11pm

Amy I've been wanting this lens too! The 16-35 is one of only 2 zooms I own and it makes me so mad sometimes. For how much it costs, it should be able to do cartwheels, but it lacks that sharpness you get with a prime. The 28mm has been patiently waiting its turn on my "to-buy" list :) 06.28.07 - 5:17pm

Fred Egan Greatness-I love my 24mm prime...killer stuff-glad you love it! 06.28.07 - 4:21pm

Jasmine* [b]...my grandmother draped her sofas with plastic covers, my mother covered our car seats with towels to avoid stains...as you can see, I hail from a long line of worry-warts. Hence the filter. Perhaps if I'm feeling brave enough, I may take off the filter. How 'bout this: I take off the filter, you say no to Diet Coke for a week. Game? ;) 06.28.07 - 4:06pm

[ b ] e c k e r jazzy, that is a sick lens, but please do me a favor and take that cheap filter off of it. nothing cuts down sharpeness like filters. it really doesn't do that much for you. if you drop the lens most likely it will be jacked up anyway. 06.28.07 - 3:57pm

david baxter ...ooooh. so jealous. please post some of your work with your new baby! 06.28.07 - 1:54pm
