So, around 5:30PM, a brown truck stopped in front of our house and a man walked towards our front door with a small package. I immediately opened the door before he could even ring the bell. He handed me a package. I thanked him, closed the door, and rushed to open it.

So, the package itself:

I opened the package to find this in there:

And this was in there: :)

Some shots with this lens. These are straight off the camera with no editing whatsoever. The only thing I did was resize and save for the web. These are quick shots with no setup or thoughts. :)

So far, I'm loving this lens! I took some pictures of my wife and niece, and they look awesome!

Happy new lens!
Those damn Brown Trucks keep turning up, usually when you have just spent too much money!
Now what about a 70-200 F2.8 or 300F4? More Brown Trucks, but possible divorce!


Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).

Congrats! It's a very nice lens indeed. Can be a bit long on a crop... nothing a little bit of foot zoom can fix. ;)

I took a lot of shots of my niece yesterday indoor and outdoor, and the FL was ok for me. I will mostly be using this lens outdoor anyway! :)
