Default Just had to share :D

On Friday last week, I got a package in the mail, A Nikkor 50mm 1.4G Lens!! YAY. My hubby ordered it for me knowing I wouldn't do it for myself. And I must say, I am in love.....(ok Hubby rocks too, but I meant the lens) It is amazing! Everything I thought it would be and MORE!!

That was nice of him! The shallow depth of field with the 50 is addicting, enjoy it!
