Ohhh...that stuff. Well, I love Peru. I backpacked there in 2000 for ~1.5 or so and fell in love with the place. Lots of culture

Gents, for those of you shooting with D-SLRs, I'm curious to know your lens preference - I'm shopping for a good prime lense right now and I'd appreciate the input.

Great gear David. How do you like the Jack Black creme?

Regarding lenses: it depends on too many factors. What kind of camera? what is the crop factor on it? Do you like to shoot landscape, closeups, portraits, etc? I have a Fuji S5pro (basically a Nikon D200) and I love Nikon's lenses, but they are $$. Sigma makes good ones for 1/2 the price, but you really have to have a keen eye to pick out the right one. Even within the same model/make, you can have two exactly two Sigma lenses and one can be crap and one excellent. You just have to try and see. Nikon is more consistent, not always.

When we hook up, I can show you what I've got and you can test it out. We'll take them out for a test drive.

Oscar...always better late than never, LOL. Great choice of SS. MWF is amazing and can be combined with any other creme, etc...However, I think this forum needs to kick it up a notch and flare your RAD to get you to move beyond just the DOVO, LOL I still love seeing it everyday though.

Nothing beats the basics...Well done. Hope your nick heals fast

Great razor the Wosty. Was it different "good" or different "bad". I take it it wasn't as great as the Genevas.
