shutterstruckstudio Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 <p>WOW!!! I have really soaked all of this in! I very much so appreciate all of this information you all have provided (especially you Eric for dragging out your D90 :) ! I feel like I have learned some amazing points to apply to my photography! I did shoot the group in AF-S. I also just got my replacement lens today. It has been confirmed there was a defect in the other lens! I really hope my replacement is better. I am scared to get it out of the box! Again thank you all so much! </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
