Default New lens like watching HDTV for the first time!
Last week I purchased a 24-70mm 2.8 lens for my 50D and I liked it but for the price I wanted to be WOWed. I took it back and got a 50mm 1.2 and IT'S THE MOST AMAZING PIECE OF PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT EVER!!! I'm seriously in love with it if you can't tell.

How exciting to have such a lovely new lens!! I notice you have both 28-135mm AND 18-55mm lenses. Can I ask whether you still use them both? I've ended up with a similar combination and can't decide if I should keep both...

I have both of those and they are always on my camera. I can't even imagine life without them now

@Esther- Both of those lenses are kit lenses. I only use the 28-135 in the studio and I NEVER use the other one.
