I'm well aware of pricing out there.

 

Oh man, i got my hood from some ebay business located in japan for $2 shipped. LAWLZ

 

You don't even NEED a hood for the 50... Plus that looks like it makes the manual focus ring just about impossible to use, which would be a serious problem. I have to MF my nifty anytime I'm in low light.

And yeah, the nifty is $90-$100 new. What a bad deal

 

Exactly what I was thinking to the letter.

Roja I dont remember pressing the quote button.

 

You don't need one by any mean but its not going to hurt to have one and the one i have still makes manual focus easy.

 

I've seen $100 and up + shipping new. So my price would be saving you $10-15, plus the hassle of finding the hood. If you dont want/need the hood that's cool, will sell w/o but I found it to be beneficial. Does protect and keep light out, I like it way better then w/o the hood and the ones mostly for sale don't have the adapter ring for the 1.8. I never had a problem with manual focus with the hood.

Thanks breaux_tC

He's shooting with a D3x. Soooooooooo jealous. >.<

 

I shoot canon and i'm jealous ha ha

 

Love that Jay-Z has been playing the entire time.

 

yeah he said he likes to shoot to music to create a good mood and get creative.

 

oh the sacrifices people make for appearance. "gives it a bigger presence" made me lol.

i actually know a guy that bought a 70-200 2.8 because of how big it is in SIZE and was ____ed when he found out it didn't zoom as far as the ghetto 70-300mm which is much smaller. i was like dude that is one of the most sought after lenses! he didn't see why. it's not about function for everyone.

 

FUNCTION over PRESENCE!!!!!!!!!
