Gee, look at their store though! Why wouldn't you want to buy from them? :lol:

Glad I didn't buy from them. So far I am very pleased with my purchase. I can't wait to take more pictures.

Have fun with your new lens!

By the way, you should look at the pictures of the storefronts this fellow has collected:

I picked up the lens tonight and my wife and I shot some photos with it. I ended up getting an even better deal than I thought as the lens had the hood with it and i printed a coupon off of their website for a $25 gift card with instore purchase over $200. Now I have $25 toward the BG-E3 grip. Here are some pics of the lens and a shot of my dog Gizmo.

EDIT: Pics didn't work, I will try again

Let me know what you think. I did some test shots on a tripod to test the focus and I think it is back focusing just slightly, but I'm no expert.

Also, are some lenses subject to more red eye than others or is it the setup of the camera and lighting conditions?

Congrats on what looks like a great deal. You will enjoy that lens...btw the Tamron comes with the hood as standard, unlike some lenses.

Yes, I know, but buying it used I thought it might be missing.
