The rest shoot better than MOA and some much better. Robert Bruz "You can't scare me.........I have kids"

Nice to have shutter speeds over 1/100+ at ISO 100 (WFO @ 1.4 obviously),on what's far shy of a balmy day. Bokeh is subjective,but I like what it yields in that regard and AF is 100% on the money via my 1D3. Might tote my 1Ds tomorrow,to reduce DOF another sliver WFO and to save some foot zooming,while wading atop ice. Trying to gun it WFO as a default,to pinpoint shortcomings,which thus far are none. These itty-bitty images crush the inherent IQ,which is fairly skookum in all regards. Can now say that the Siggy 50mm F/1.4 resists water(understatement).....................(grin) Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.

I was busy releasing my feesh and doing my thing,so didn't catch the nails until late in the day,'bout time we'd froze out and punted. It didn't affect her casting,fighting feesh,riggin' tackle nor trigger finger....so I just stayed outta her road..............

And practicing that way makes it seems luxurious when you can grab any kind of a rest...which is most of the time... "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..."
