    &Jengo Fett

  2. Anonymous says:

    I don’t think Jengo Fett was in the original, trilogy was he?

  3. pupdog says:

    I was so disappointed when it was ‘revealed’ that Boba Fett was nothing but Jango with a bad Earl Scheib job….

    @#2:

    not YET.

    Actually, looks like they’ve included the only two prequel-introduced characters I’m not embarrassed to be able to name. (Qui Gon Jinn would be in that list but for being the first (second?) person to say “midichlorians”).

    I concur – I own that lens and it is a wonder. Great lens for a low price. It is my default lens. I leave it on the camera and shoot with it far more often than with my zoom. For indoor low-light situations, it can’t be beat for the price.

    What is “silk nylon”???

  7. Blue says:

    @Sharpiesniffer – agreed. It’s my default lens also.

    I think using a fixed prime as opposed to a zoom lens has improved both my love of photography and my results – I became so much more engaged.

    It’s so cheap and so good, you can’t not own it.

  8. Wordguy says:

    @Blue & Sharpiesniffer — I just ordered one from this deal. I am interested to try a fixed prime and find out if I like shooting that way or not. I do like that it is a fast lens.

  9. josephlrc says:

    Absolutely agree on the canon lens, and if you miss the deal it is available from Amazon for 86. This fluctuates a bit as I think I paid less for mine a couple of months ago.

    Now if they would run a similar deal on the new 17mm TS/E.. 2.5k seems like a lot.
