Practically do not speak English. I’m using Google translator.
I’m Brazilian. I study mathematics at USP / Brazil.
I have artistic gifts ever given attention. One day I needed to do a video. To make the video was enough to focus a bit and then the script was structured. I was surprised how I managed without much difficulty and in no time. People liked what they saw, the comment was that the video was strong and sensitive expression. Then I started to look more what was around me. The images caused me feelings of spirit. I made pictures. While taking pictures I was completely absorbed. I could spend hours doing it because he felt an intense feeling of fullness and incredible …. Obtaining the image caused in me an intense state indescribable. As a continuous dynamic feeling of fullness. It is difficult to translate. Through this “email” is the first time that I want and I say this. He wanted to speak because I believe you also have a lot of interest in images. I want to know your opinion for and against regarding EF35mm f/1.4L lens Canon U.S., price and where to buy (if known). I also thank if you want to tell me mais.Obrigado. Rosangela S Brandão – Brazil – SP / SP
ERRATA. I wrote in 14/julho/2011 … when the U.S. f/1.4L f/1.4L USM is correct. I await your response. Thank you for your attention. Rosangela Brandão. USP / Brazil-SP / SP
