I just ordered this new lens. Lets make this fun, if you own the lens describe your first moments, from taking it out of the hands of the ups man to putting it on your camera for the first time!

Dec 09, 2011 13:03 | #8 I got mine a little over a week ago. Love the lens, frustrated with my subjects lately. Still a tad worried about the focal length on the 5D for the kids. Can't get the natural candids I get with my 85. I have no issues or problems with the lens though, and the FL is fantastic on my 7D. It's great on the 5D too, just need to get more used to working with it. Canon EOS M6 Mark II - EOS R5

First week - man, this is tough to shoot with, I'm not sure I made the right call here... Second week - OK, I think I'm getting the hang of it.. Third week - My god, I love this lens. Thanks for sharing Brandon, I've briefly had this lens twice - one was defective and returned, the other was stellar but I had to sell 2 weeks after getting it due to some unexpected bills. Now thinking third times a charm but need a little nudge.
