I ♥ the postman. :)
My 35mm lens arrived. I decided that if I was going to have to endure so many injections, my dreaded fear, I should at least treat myself. I had some money saved up and found a *great* deal on a 35mm f/2 ... so it's here! First impressions? :) Hmmm, wider than expected, sharp, rather noisy focus and rubbish build but I like it! :P Here's just my VERY first shots that I pulled off the card. I will share more interesting and technically correct later when I get some more time to play. I was just chilling, eating my macaroni cheese and cucumber, and reading my Physics notes when I heard the knock on the door. I couldn't thank the postman enough! :D Oh, and I looooove the close focusin distance!
Mostly @ f/2-2.8, 1/800-1/1000 and all at 100 ISO. Lovin' the bokeh on this little lens. :D Plus it is s-h-a-r-p...that second one is SOOTC at f/2. :)
The package on our landing ;)
Fed up of hyacinths? I am, was just testing the focus!!
Old hot chocolate mug at f/2...
See, told ya they were boring! off to cycle to my grandparents' house. I'll take the camera and shoot something more interesting! :0) ~ Lulu

I love these pics, not the typical something different!! I love that coffee cup really cute!! This lens is sharp and the colors are so vibrant, great first pics!!
Woohooo! Congrats, Lulu! That's awesome, and the photos look great. I think you'll love it. I even like the first one ;)
(I still think you should have gotten the 30 though! lol. Joking. I very nearly got the 35 too and I'm sure it's just as great.)
you got a new toy - of course you will get comments :) We share in the excitement with you as new toys are soo much fun. And besides, your pics are still fun :)
Congrat's on the new lens!
Lulu, how could we not comment on such beautiful pictures? They are awesome. As always.

Hey, chin up! You're doing great as usual.
I love the little commentary of the lens. I have finally saved up enough to buy my first D-SLR (probably a XTi) and I think I'm going with the 35mm and the 50mm. So, thanks. I really like 2.
Thanks for inspiring me to get into photography as well. You are my inspiration.
GREAT images, really great.
Oh ladies, you are TOO good to me!
I guess the first one isn't too bad.
Jennifer, thanks! It is sharp, I LOVE it!
Ellen, aww, thanks girlfriend! :) I like it too now, just looked funky on my laptop! I would have loved the 1.4 of the 30 but am glad I chose the 35 because it's just wide enough!
Jenna, thanks! :) You do know how to make a girl feel good!
Hey Hannah - too sweet! You are too good to me!
Sarah, yay for you! I am SO happy for you girl! The 400D sounds like a great choice...and the 35 and 50 are great lens. Are you getting the 50mm 1.8 or 1.4?
Thanks 'anonymous'!
Congrats on the new lens! I love getting packages!
Lovely blog pics! Great job!
Lulu -I just love your spirit...you make me smile every single day! Thank you!
Yay for you! Love the dof.
Congrats on the new Lens .. these are just absolutely gorgeous!!
WOW! the focus is dead on!!
I can't wait to see more..
Cool! I am still trying to decide between the 35, 30, and 85. I LOVE the close-up hyacinth shot. I'm glad your dentist appointment went well for you!
looking good, lulu! i'm dying for a 30mm and i'm glad to hear that it's wider than you expected.
Thanks everyone! :) I'll give more thoughts on the lens later. It's really sharp though, I love it!
BEAUTIFUL!
Love them all. like 2 best. tfs. :D
love the pink polkadot cup!! :D
and wow! it IS sharp! :)
Woot woot! Awesome, Lulu! I LOVE new lenses! :-) You'll have to tell me whether you love this lens or not after you've played with it a while. I'm considering selling my Sigma 30 1.4 & getting this one. Let me know what you think, okay?
Congrats on the new lens!! That ones been on my list for a while now :) I'm going to be checking in to see how you continue to like it :)
Hey, I'm glad you finally broke down and got that 35 after all this time!
