Tom: Damn! Oh well, the guy gave me additional discount since I bought a UV filter as well!
BTW, has anyone bought refurb'ed lenses from Canon USA? I tried to order one online, but it wouldn't accept any of my Canadian credit cards

I bought my Nikon 35mm 1.8 on a trip down to the states. It only cost me 200 bucks. Lenses are considerably cheaper in the US.
If you want to rent lenses, you can try http://www.beauphoto.com/
You get them longer if u rent over the weekened.
Also, the new Nikon 50mm 1.8 is now out! looks pretty good.

Sometimes they do discounts if you buy two lenses, they'll throw in extra filters

Loving my new (used) voigtlander 40mm 1.4. Bokeh knocks my sigma 50 1.4 out of the ballpark
has a pretty usable focus ring for street shooting unlike some of the other older lens I got recently
Also picked up a 15mm 4.5 not a bad lens but very wide and smallish aperture, mostly I will be using the 40mm 1.4 on the e-pl1

First time poster but I've been reading for a while. I just got my first 50mm today for my D7000. The new 50mm 1.8G. Broadway Camera in Vancouver has them and they called me as soon as it came in. It's bit pricier than I was expecting at 248.00. I also got the 58mm Hoya UV filter for it.I'll post some shots when I have time.
I also have the 18-55VR, Nikkor 85mm 3.5 VR, and Nikkor 55-300VR as well.

I am going to purchase the Nikon 85mm 1.8 after I went to the camera store to test it out. However, I've read some reviews online about color fringing when shooting wide open? Anyone have any experience with this lens that they can share about?
