I reboot my MBP every few days. It gets sluggish if I don't. I'd love to know why you don't have to and I do! I suspect it is the heavy amount of stuff I have running compared to my available RAM? Anyone else have this issue? Basically I ha

I love the visual qualities of that lens. Wow! The slight softness, the vignette, the muted tones. I have bags full of old lenses and lens elements (going back to cameras from about 1920) myself and now I'm inspired to do something with
