SO…the story goes like this…I was reading JAZZIE’s happy hour interview on the BLU BLOG and how her FAV lens of the moment was the CANON USM 28mm 1.8!! Funny she should mention that, I had heard about that lens SEVERAL time in the past week or so!! (In typical LENS JUNKIE style I think to myself, “it MUST be a sign!”) So, I then look at a SHOOT that she did with that lens, when she borrowed it from someone else and my ears perked up because the images were GREAT!!!!(images featured below!) THEN…on yet another DELIGHTFUL blog, I hear how MORE people are in love with this little lens! SEE…SIGNS, I tell you!!! ;) Soo….what’s a GIRL TO DO other than to STOP thinking about it and GO OUT and GET IT!!! Plus, LENSES are one of my FAVORITE things ever and I will admit to having a SLIGHT obsession with them!! The BEST part of this lens is how CHEAP it is!! I’m usually an L glass girl so when I went into my local distributor, Roberts, and told them what I needed, they ACTUALLY responded by saying, ARE YOU SURE? That’s NOT an L lens, YOU KNOW!!!! DUH, i said!!! If you COULD get L glass for $399 then I would be homeless (ok, maybe just living on ramen!) but with every single L lens on the planet in MY POSSESSION!!!!! Anyway…where was I? OH…THE 28!!! Ok, so below are JASMINE STAR’s IMAGES from that lens and WOW….see why I was SURE it was a sign?? So, I now own the little guy…OH and I really mean little guy…it’s the SMALLEST lens I’ve ever owned!! I love cute little things!!! I have yet to really use this lens, but I know it’s going to be great!! So, I’m sure I’ll be back soon with my NEXT lens obsession story!!

FROM the LOVELY & TALENTED, Jasmine Star:

Hey Jessica!
I am a young photographer who is really just trying to find my style of photography. I own a Canon Rebel XTi with the factory 18-55mm lens. However, I am extremely interested in getting a new lens. Since you are SO lens “obsessed” I thought I would ask which lens you would recommend as the “next step”.
Thank you, thank you
Kelsee

I sat in on Jasmine’s Happy Hour that day and hearing her rave about this lens, I promptly jumped over to B&H’s site and ordered it! I’m using it for the first time this weekend and I can’t wait. And you’re right, it’s so little and cute ;)
