Darn it... I had to reply... couldn't resist the temptation 35L is the most precise and simple way to refer to that particular lens. I think everyone agrees that people boasting about their very expensive equipment being yadda yadda which is sooo much better than yiddi yiddi are rather annoying. This wasn't a case of such though. Quod erat demonstrandum. Do you feel like snipping away your rant? (which would fit better in a new thread along with this reply ) All meant in the best of intents.

Never saw anyone get into a tizzy over the letter 'L' before. It is the quickest way to refer to the Canon 35/1.4 L--I hope you're not too upset over it...certainly was not my intention to upset people.
Don't worry about it lol. It was just a minor rant for all the newbies out there who say it's the L as if they would secret masturbate to the letter if they could

I don't put a 'C' before mine either--I put an 'L' or 'EF-S', like you put a 'D' or 'AF-S', afterwords. This is standard practice when it comes to Canon L-grade lenses. Canon labels every L lens box with a red L, and so that is where it is derived. In any case I don't see what all the whining is about nor do I see any reason to troll over it--it is only a letter.
Thanks Was crossing the bridge and a gap in the cars opened up and it was a porsche 911 coming towards me, a favourite. Had split seconds to setup. Another moment in photography that really gets you excited about a record of light that you just transfered into a picture. @Greg Can you explain what you mean by the Halo effect, not heard that term before??
PBear I think he refers to it seeming like there is an area around the car that seems unnaturally light. I would have to say that I think the shot balances nicely on the degree of post processing. I reckon it has been processed and lightened in strategic places? Along with a color gradient (gel) on top? If this is straight from camera... then
