Tomorrow I am heading to Amsterdam to study health policy over spring break with a number of other Case students. I received an email today from an employee working at a photo store in Holland asking if they could use a picture of mine in their store publication. I don’t think they were expecting me to trade the picture for in-store credit, but they’re going to try to hook me up with a discounted B+W 72mm UV filter if I stop in their store in Rotterdam. Sweet deal.

I need the filter for my new Canon 35mm f/1.4L lens. Oh baby, what a fine lens. This is my first L-series prime lens and…wow. This is one sharp lens. I picked it up used from a guy on FredMiranda.com. Normally, I use a 24-70L as my walk around lens, however, the clarity on this lens is so impressive that I might start to try to use this lens instead. Having the zoom is certainly a major convenience, but I really want to get that extra sharpness in my shots and I know this lens can deliver. I’ll see how it goes in Amsterdam – expect plenty of shots.
