    You certainly did a lot of research for this lens, and it definitely stands out from other lenses -- it's beautiful. Congratulations on the Purple Star and Angel Blessings! I have a bathroom & bedroom that have a French style-Paris apartment-Victorian-art deco-shabby chic-eclectic decor. I just call it "Vicki"! Sounds messed up, but it's very pretty, at least I think so. I like mixing antiques from a bunch of different eras. ~Vicki~
