hehe I am still waiting for your runways and sports lobang. oh starting Feb 16 there is NUS Cultural Events to shoot, I will be posting up the details.

as for the statues, its a good work out for the 50/1.2L. good news is that flare control is superb, but CA manifests at harsh transitions e.g. at the top of the Barberini's head and shoulders.
