Yeah, we heard, we will pass on that!
On the photo topic...I was looking at some previously posted pics (FB) and found some I had taken with the 50mm lens. I don't use that lens all that often. Never quite sure when I can utilize it to make any photo magic...back to that not being very creative. I did use it at a car show, getting nice "bokeh." I'm still contemplating a wide angle lens. We've talked about heading to NC/Asheville area, and thought I might enjoy a wide angle lens for landscape big buildings etc. I know of a used one that is compatible with my camera. Rick says buy it if you will use it. The question is will I use it?? Here's a couple taken with the 50 mm, back in the days when car shows were a thing in the summer.

Lainey, in your first Caddy picture do you know what happens if you press that small round red thing between the red and white parts of the taillight?

Only works on the left taillight!

Ding ding, we have a winner. The red part pops up and there is a gas cap underneath. My Dad was a used car dealer in the 50s and drove home many cars in his inventory. I have a photo someplace of him washing a yellow Caddy convertible, with taillights like your photo.

Rick's Dad used to own a local gas station. Rick remembers pumping gas as a kid. He knew the secrets on the cars with hidden gas tank access.
