(What I'd like, if money is no object, is a 50mm/1.8 or 1.4, and then a longer zoom.)

How are you liking SmugMug? I've decided to bite the bullet on a pay photo hosting service, and it's between SmugMug and ZenFolio. I'm undecided. I'm doing trials on both now. (At some point I may post galleries of identical photos at both sites and turn The Cellar loose to critique them from an end-user standpoint.)

Thanks! I used a sigma 70-300 lens, an push/pull zoom from our old 35mm film Nikon. It worked great, you just have to use higher shutter speeds in order to compensate for the magnified effects of camera shake that happen at long focal lengths. I also have the 18-55 kit lens and it's been a great knock around lens for me. If I had the money, I would pony up for a nice micro lens and an 80-200/2.8, but I think in reality I'll end up with the 18-200/3.5 VR as a good walk around. That prime 50/1.8 is actually darn cheap (as far as lenses go anyway): http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/541533329.htm. It'll be my next lens purchase; it's perfect for indoor shooting.

Smugmug has been great so far. Stupidly easy to upload photos, helps to have an uncluttered cable connection too. I'm also still in the trial period, but I've made up my mind and am going to stick around there.

Haha nice bruce
