I might just have to sell my 24-70 f/2.8. I popped my old 50mm f/1.4 on for a picnic and fireworks event at Tinicum park and can't be more happy with the results.

Color and clarity are simply amazing. I only had to remove one small spec from Sophia's cheek. Otherwise this is straight from the camera.

As my daughter Sophia would say. Found this a.m. in the pool. Was hoping the whole time it wasn't going to spring to life as I handled it. Has some decent size pincers in the front although they are closed in this picture.

Looks to be a Giant Stag Beetle, perhaps a female judging by the size of the abdomen and smaller pincers than a male.
