One of my all-time favorite lenses. My Flickr gallery needs more updates, but I'm working on it! I also need to start writing down what apertures I'm using, as I can't remember any of these... Though, my gut tells me that the portraits (my girl + random goat) is f1.8, and the rest around f2. The first three are on NEX-5, the last on 5DMK2. I'm not too pleased with the way I edited the photo of goat, as the straw in his mouth looks kind of "fake"?

Sometimes I use a small voice recorder for that. I say image number followed by aperture setting...

Good idea! I have a Zoom recorder, so maybe I'll finally make us of it. Either that, or I'll just use a notepad with grids.

Oh, by the way, I'd be more than happy with some c&c on my photos.

Well... you're using 5dmk2 so there's magic lantern available for it. It has a lot of amazing features (for manual lenses as well) but it also has built in sound recorder.
I used it for recording short memos about the photos I took with manual lenses. As I remember correctly it was saved as a *.wav file with numbering adequate to the frame that was recorded at. I had this feature connected with set button and it worked pretty nice, a lot nice for such purpose I think, than any external sound recorded.
