2.25lbs....Alexander was 3lbs at his lowest weight...

Admit it, you tried pulling the old "indiana jones idol swap", but the difference in weight set off the alarms :D

Well almost time for my holiday lens rental. Mostly used for indoors so it might be the 24L II again this year or maybe a TS :)

Don't tell me you never watched B&H's video review for the lens. It's long, but it could stand to be longer :D Even for birding, there'd be cases where you might want it LONGER :D

I don't bird. Maybe I would if I had money to spend on long telephoto lenses and was a bit more mature and had my own car. ;)

Combination of people indoors and some outdoor scenes. That is why i lean towards the wide end (being on crop forces me to). One day ill take the 135L for a spin on FF :)

When i become an old man and life slows down ill be birding. It can be relaxing. I just dont have the time for it now.

I might but i fear it to be a bit too long on crop for indoor use (NYC apartments can be very tight). I already run into a few problems with 50 so that is why i don't go for the 85. When i go FF it will be a lens to buy for sure! :D But! In the warmer temps and 85 is magic outside for me :)
