I use my 85mm for a lot of things. On a crop sensor, its a decent tele-prime that ill use for distant landscapes, or just extra reach. At concerts its a good length on full frame and crop.
By default its the best length on 35mm/FX digital for portraits for my use. Others like a bit more or a bit less.
Playing around with it is better than asking a forum what to do with it. Go out and shoot.

Ok, what services exactly do you feel I do not deserve because of my life style? Do I not deserve to be at my partners bedside in the hospital, as you would be allowed if anything bad happened to yours?
News Flash, we gays already have access to all of those things. Nothing has ever stopped us from being Gay and claiming social security, medicare, or getting state funded medicaid or unemployment or now Affordable Health Care. The only thing I am denied is the very right to have my bedroom door shut off from public.
Your tax dollars are fighting progress. That is a the only waste that is happening.

I'm really confused. "with both spouses as biological parents." Wouldn't both females have eggs and no sperm, and both males have sperm and no egg? How do "quite a few cases of gay couples having children naturally". Yes go to a sperm bank, or have a surrogate‎, but that is not from their marriage. Isn't that called artificial insemination. Mother Nature dictates the inability of gays having children directly with each other.
Where in the anus is the uterus or egg placement, for the male on male connection, and/or in the spit is sperm for the females on female uniting to become pregnant?

Where I live, the cattle are in the fields most of the year, they only eat silage (stored grass) during winter. they never eat artificial food of any kind. Voted best beef in the UK
Thats exactly similar to the farm my local butcher gets their beef and pigs from. After eating humanely cared for, grass fed minimal drugged pig and cow, I cannot go back to that stuff they pass off as meat in the grocers.
A lot of places here are getting on the bandwagon as well. Portland has a lack of chain restaurants which gives our local chefs more freedoms to source ingredients not from Sysco or American Foods distribution.

Its almost like a text version of a very popular news channel.

Can I go ahead and comment on how your avatar is probably on EBT or is that racist?

Sounds like the problem is you not liking gay people. Its not 1855.

Expensive? My unlimited plan is like 30bux a month. I can make that in a day returning popcans.
People can be working and still get EBT. Its called the poverty level, and chances are the person who you order your senior discounted coffee from at McDonalds is on EBT.

My father-in-law told me Adobe allows free full downloads of unsupported versions of Photoshop. I cannot find these downloads. Does anyone know if this is accurate?
Not free in the sense they are giving it away, free in teh sense that CS3 is old as the hills and activation servers are no more. They posted a end all be all SN that will activate all CS2 and 3 products without authentication at Adobe.

3rd one is too "faded" or washed IMO, the white point is too harsh.
Second one is feel very artificially light, with a more pleasing background than the first image.
First image is good, but I would have taken about 20 steps back to get the whole tree myself.
The flash IMO made a very distracting overlay of blobs. Good thing it can be reshot if needed.

An optical finder is doable on a fixed-lens camera, even with zoom, but coupling to interchangeable megazooms would be a challenge.
My Xpro1 has a OVF. I use a 18-55 on it often. The framelines shrink in the OVF overlay. Thats is how we deal with OVF and Zoom glass.
I tried to do it with the 55-250 lens and utterly hated it and use the EVF for anything over 55mm.

I love my grass fed beef from the local farmer just outside town for the same price as that crap they sell at Kroger.
The food does in fact taste better in Portland.
