Now we're talkin'

Somebody's having a birthday. I think I know what they want. ...and it looks like this.

fleaBay has come up with a pretty good price (ok, it was like the 6th try, but these things are 'spensive at da store)
Sure it won't  be as sharp as the 50mm but then it's not like we have some kinda 25mpixel sensor either. Really nice range. Focuses pretty well. Great 'going on a hike' lens.
