Just a couple I took from the zoo walk today, got a chance to test out the 50 mm 1.8 G - very happy with the results:

Thanks bribrius. I have a great time at the zoo and it's a really good way to exercise without it being god awful and boring.

Can't wait to see some pics RA. I know what you mean about the glass, a lot of times I have to work pretty hard to find a clean spot or two to shoot through, or try to work around it in post.

Nice shots! I love the leopard. When I See cats like this, I get the overwhelming urge to pet it. but then again, I want to keep my face and limbs.

I always enjoy your shots from the zoo. The am partial to the kitty shots. I wouldn't even have ever known what the guys in the first shot were unless you posted them here.

What does a season pass to the zoo cost ballpark? Not that I have a zoo within 150 miles of me, just curious.
