Hi Kevin,

I’m often prowling around the websites belonging to the HCC member’s, which is what brought me here. I just wanted to say this was a great photo. And that you have a nice clean website. One of the better ones from my point of view.

Here’s a post that shows two portraits: One taken with a G11 and the other taken with a professional-level SLR. See if you can tell the difference.

As a Nikon shooter, I must mention that the latest entry level Nikon bodies like the D40, D60, D3000 and D5000 won’t autofocus that 50mm lens because Nikon took the focusing motor out of the body to save money. You used to be able to use older lenses with the entry level bodies. My old D50 could do it. Nowadays, you have to get a $800 D90 if you want to use your old lenses. The lenses that end in G (like the new $200 35mm f/1.8G) have focusing motors inside the lenses and will run perfectly on the entry level bodies. With the cropped sensor, I’d recommend the 35mm anyways because it gives you an effective focal length of close to 50mm.

Cropped and full frame sensors and other cost cutting measures have overly complicated the Nikon lens lineup. It can be irritating at times. I have the following older D lenses and I love em 50 f1.8, 85 f1.8 and 35 f2. I also have 2 newer G zoom lenses, the 18-55 and 55-200. They are ok and do the job when I need a zoom. I used to have a nice 24 f2.8 but the crop sensor turned it into a 35 and it was a bit too expensive to just be a 35.
