Anyone looking for a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 can safely go back to those crazed lunatics down at Ado,
they jacked up the prices $30 (used), I guess because I would buy them as fast as they
put em up at $54 each. I could sell em on cameras or singly at that price and still make
a little bread. But then they jacked em up, and you can tell that no one even looks anymore
because they are up there hanging and rotting in the sun, one $54 and one $64, just
waiting for that person who doesn't have a fast prime yet. Naturally I can no longer
recommend Ado all that much, but this is news, at least to me. I have been watching
that price stay high for two years.

Excellent, you are gaining so much control over it. Your work is more impressive each time I see it.
I have been doing diddley. That's not true, I am way over-worked, but I had to move from stills to video
and sound board now that my friend and I have opened a music venue in Memphis. AS much as I tried
to help musicians with some kind of higher-quality stills to aid them in promotion, now I do video for the
same reasons. It is NOWHERE NEAR as satisfying as photography was. But the guy I taught how to shoot
with a DSLR zoomed past me in the fast lane in skills, and I just realized there was no more need for me to
shoot stills. I get in the occasional dozen here or there, but it is just sad.
