it's funny, i just asked people on the yahoo group a question about their favourite lenses...

i own a dynax 7 and...

50mm f/1.4 - i love this lens. sharp and versatile. great lens hood on the new version. taken some of my best photos with this.

100mm f/2.8 macro - this lens is amazingly sharp. i use it mainly for portraits, a job it does very well. great bokeh...almost too sharp at times...have to be careful.

i used to own a 28mm f/2.8 but sold it because my example, bought cheaply used, was 'loose'. also had a 28-135mm f/4-4.5 which i loved but sold due to it's really poor close focusing ability and the fact that it had some fogging on the backside of the rear element. my pictures with this lens were wonderfully saturated and colourful.

i have an 'orange ring' version of the tokina 20-35 f/3.5-4.5 on the way but it's a 77mm filter thread and i may not take it travelling. i'm currently looking for a wide-angle prime for travel. any suggestions? which is the most versatile?

my friend just bought the lens hood and adapter for the 50mm

f/1.8II. two questions for those who have this setup

1) where is it best to mount your filter? before the hood adapter

or hood adapter first and then the filter? is it best to have the

filter closest to the front lens element as possible?

2) when a polarizer is mounted in either position, will it vignette?

thanks for your help guys/gals...
