shellylh Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Nikon 40mm f/2.8 DX AF-S Micro lens I had some amazon cash and thought this would be nice as a light "all-in-one" outdoor walkaround plus closeup. It seems like a better length than the 60mm (on DX) for everyday use and is a lot cheaper. It probably couldn't do a great 1:1 macro because of lighting but there are many times that I am walking around taking pictures and I would like to take some closeups of flowers (closer than I can get with the 35mm non-micro). Also, the f/2.8 should be ok for outdoor photos. Should be able to take some decent food pictures as well. Plan to still keep the 35mm f/1.8 and 100mm f/2.8 macro that I have of course.
morphsci Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 ^^ Nice ^^ and for me a silver GLite.

mikeymad Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Nikon 40mm f/2.8 DX AF-S Micro lens approve.. I saw the review of this on DRevTV.. and figure it would replace my fixed 50mm f/1.8, but I like the low light usage of the 1.8 (see drinking thread )

Salt Peanuts Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 I've had one for awhile. I've been paranoid longer. I'm hoping it works well. I've never really had a need for one as I almost never took anything aside from a laptop when I went on a trip/vacation (and I have a lock for that). However, now that I've a got a dSLR setup I'd like to bring along, my paranoia got the better of me, especially when I learned the renal condo we're staying at doesn't have a safe/vault in the main office.
Aimless1 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Thanks Jim! Thanks Stretch! and of course, thank you to Deepak for pointing me in the right direction. Edited September 30, 2011 by Aimless1

Worked well for us while staying at "affordable" accommodations in Europe as well as various camping trips. It has held up well also. Thanks Jim! You're very welcome.
shellylh Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Hoped to pick up some more Creole Shrubb and Mandarine Napoleon but the little liquor store didn't have them. Instead, I picked up this bottle of Grand Imperial orange liqueur. Could not find any information on it online but the guy at the store says that it is as good or better than Grand Marnier and it was on sale for $20 (although usually the people at this store are full of shit).
luvdunhill Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Yeah, I never trust those recommendations at all. Good luck!
shellylh Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Had a little taste and it is actually pretty good. It is a bit sweeter and has a lot less burn than Grand Marnier. It is really easy to drink neat - could be dangerous. I am not sure it would be great in a margarita because it is a little too smooth - will have to try.

Augsburger Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Seriously man, it seems like just yesterday I was in your and Nate's shoes. Time flys way to f' in fast.
Salt Peanuts Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 ^ Are you cooking the pants with the wine in the pan?
cetoole Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Nope, making sous vide chicken tikka masala tonight. Might drink some of the wine though. Yes, I think I will at that.
mrarroyo Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Will do. Hi Shelly, have you tried Cointreau? http://www.cointreau.us/#header
swt61 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Nope, making sous vide chicken tikka masala tonight. Might drink some of the wine though. Yes, I think I will at that. But you've recently decided to start wearing pants while cooking? Must've had a bad bacon incident eh?
shellylh Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Hi Shelly, have you tried Cointreau? http://www.cointreau.us/#header Miguel, thanks for the suggestion. I have some Cointreau but don't like it as much as Creole Shrubb or Grand Marnier (with Creole Shrubb my absolute favorite in margaritas).
