By looking at the pictures wachusett put up on facebook of the park, I'm sorry to say but I'm kinda disappointed at how low all the features are, like last year's features D:

That down flat down can be put up high enough to nut your self on but instead they have it so low that i don't think it goes past half the length of my shins

thanks man, it was my first day using this lens and it's a 1.4 so I shot wide-open all day. If i stopped it down it would have been much sharper, but I really wanted to see what it'd look like at 1.4.

The reason it looks a little choppy is because I still haven't invested in a step down ring to use my ND filter on, so I had to crank the shutter way past the 180 rule to keep the aperature wide-open. I might end up just buying another ND filter so I don't have to keep switching between lenses

ahhh i know what your saying, i was wondering about that, im trying to get a 50mm 1.4 and i was thinking how i would have to bump the shutter speed up so much...i guess i never realized thats what ND filters are for....
