I received my first L glass today from Delta International, 28-70mm F2.8L. Oh, what a lens! Took some shots with my first lens, Canon 28-90mm f4-5.6, compared them with same shots taken with my new lens and the difference is astounding. I guess all that overtime I worked over the last month paid off.

And the other benefit is going to be my new physique from lugging this lens around. I may not go to the gym again! :)

P.S. Dealing with Delta was great! There was a slight mix-up in shipping on their end. They called me as soon as they realized their mistake and did everything they could to ensure my satisfaction, including crediting back the shipping charges. Will definitely deal with them again. :)

Heh. Get the 100-400 and carry it around an air show all day for a good test of the arms. :)

cheer up chill : )

i had the same reaction (both) when i received my 28-70L, too...

but after the callous gets nice and hard on your thumb, it'll all be fine : )))

to be honest...after a month or so...i didn't even notice the weight...although i recommend the battery grip and E-1 strap if you don't feel like banging into everything with it hung around your neck...

but it DOES take such wonderful pictures, no?

sometimes i look at some of these shots and can't believe I took them : )

welcome to the club...enjoy...

In MDJAK's defense, 7-8 years is ample time for the OP to have posted a duck shot. =P
