Best Lens for WDW

[traylorc]

I'm not sure why we can't toss water balloons at these interlopers.

That's because water at WDW cost like $25 an ounce. Therefore it is financial prohibitive to throw water balloons at the interlopers.

Good point! It's all the more frustrating because there are so many lakes and streams in the parks, but have you ever tried to fill up a water balloon from a lake? It's easier to just by chicken nuggets to toss at them.

Back on the topic of the best lens, I spent some time at Epcot last night using only an 85mm prime that I just got. Posted a photo of Alice in the Portrait thread.

Lovely lens for low light and great bokeh, but 85mm is a bit long for most shots that I'd take. When I tried to switch to detail shots, I found that it has a longer minimum focus distance than I could use to get in close enough to fill the frame.

Man, ain't that the truth? I keep telling the same things to other people, but I hate it when it happens to me.

You know the scary part of this first trip with the 85mm F/1.4 is that I kept thinking I need to come back with a 35mm f/1.4 - I wonder how much that's going to cost me?
