Ich bin ueber-GLUCKLICH!

Pop Quiz!

What is this a picture of?
A) a fire hydrant
B) a mechanical hamster
C) Ape's new 50mm 1.2 lens
D) a nun

Well....

The answer....drumroll please.....Its "C"!!!!

We're happy to welcome the 50mm 1.2 to our family of happy lenses. Now, our 85mm 1.2 ii has a baby sister! THANK YOU CANON!!

CANON ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! They have the best lenses IMO.
My older brother Thomas Greer is a Nikon'er and I guess my only big beef with Nikon is that none of their digital cameras are full-frame! That's lame! Really lame!
Canon has full frame + nice lenses. Win-win!
I have my parents to thank for getting me HOOKED on Canon. I received my first Canon model (film version) in Heidelberg from my favorite store Media Markt (every popular chain store is called Markt over there).
I was a weekly if not bi-weekly film & slide shooter with Media Markt. I picked the minds of all the camera guys at the photo stand in Media Markt. Over there, you pratically need a degree to work at the photo counter! Try that here in Rite Aid. In Deutschland people train for a specific industry field in order to progress in the workplace.
I would RUN to the store from the bus stop in order to make their store hours to pick up film. They taught me a film & slide 'pushing' process. In fact, they secretly gave me stickers for free slide developing, because it was obvious I was a broke-ass student. Germans are pretty cool people. Ich vermisse euch sehr!
I love photography. I photoshop wedding photos in my sleep sometimes. I don't know how life would go one without music or cameras. My goodness, where would we be without sharing emotions and love and all of those beautiful simple times in our life captured through a lens? Peace everyone, keep it real!
