Nikon 50mm f/1.4G Giveaway Winner

Lola and I are very excited to announce the winner of the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G giveaway that we posted a month ago. We had about 350 comments, which kept on pouring in all the way until the last day of the giveaway. In order to make the giveaway fair, I removed duplicate posts and posts by people who were responding to other comments, which dropped the total comment count to 314.

In order to pick the winner, I had to enable comment numbering, which puts a sequential number in front of every comment. I then used a number randomizer to pick a number between 1 and 314.

So, who is the lucky winner today? The number is 109, which makes Giani Jindal the winner of the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G lens! Congratulations Giani, I will write a comment on the original giveaway entry, so please get back to me ASAP with your address.
