May 22, 2012 20:53 | #1 I was over to Calumet Photography today and just for the heck of it inquired about renting the above mentioned lens. The guy gave me the weekend rate of $50, and since Monday is a holiday gave me till Tuesday to bring it back. 4 days! I've never handled one before, and really looking forward to putting it on my 7D! Canon 6D & 7D. Panasonic GX85 and a number of ever changing lenses.

Unless your shooting doesn't call for that lens I can just about guarantee you will be purchasing one in the near future. Absolutely love mine on the 7D.
