Wierd, their ordering system has been offline for an hour for me.

Just got mine yesterday. I did the same thing and ordered Friday 3-day shipping and had to wait until Thursday to get it. UGH, but worth it.

It is a very nice lens. Congratulations.

Great choice!

Got pictures to share? I'm betting you will learn a lot about photography from this lens.

Don't look back...

You made a good choice...and I've spend thousands $$$ on lenses.

They shut their website and shipping down for the Sabbath and Jewish holidays, have to respect people of principle.

Congratulations on the fine new lens !

You might consider the below monopod for those prolonged outings where you will be doing alot of standing since this lens is no lightweight coupled with a 7D + battery grip:

It's an addiction. In the past two weeks I've picked up the 50mm f1.4, the 35mm f2, and the EF-S 10-22mm. Now I'm looking to upgrade to the 60D. I need therapy. :confused:

How are you liking your new lens?
