I think of it more as being excited about a new item to learn and enjoy. Well, I'm watching this thread, so I guess a bit obsessed also. Keyan wrote in post #17241711 ...for casual outdoor use or walk around situations where the zoom range would be useful and switching lenses isn't easy. Yes, I agree. I hope the 18-135 doesn't end up just sitting in the bag and never on the camera as it seems to have a lot of potential, especially as an outdoors, general purpose lens. Gallery

Phoenixkh a mere speck More info | Oct 30, 2014 10:54 | #228 From all I've read, the 18-135 STM has an IQ that rivals the 15-85. That is something. I love my 15-85 outdoors. The trade-offs are wide end vs. more on the long end, of course. But if the 18-135 STM is so close as to be indistinguishable from the 15-85, I think it it will prove to be an excellent walk-around lens.

Ordered the body and kit... current status now shows "in stock, order sent to warehouse" So I guess I should have it no later than Tuesday. http://gamedayphotos.uwa.edu/

Oct 30, 2014 12:00 | #233 Yeah, I just wasn't sure if they still had stock (sometimes websites lag a bit) - Helen just confirmed that everything is shipping except for the extra battery, mostly because Canon isn't shipping those yet I don't think, so I *should* have it tomorrow, I hope.

I know my local camera store is usually higher than the Canon suggested retail price so I didn't even bother with them. Yeah, I paid 1899 CDN. No shipping costs either Ryan Mackay WEBSITE

Credit card charged today 30-Oct. The tracking number was not hitting the UPS site yet but I'm pretty comfortable I'll have the new toy in my paws for the weekend! Remember, we ship orders received up until 8:00 pm ET. So although the trucks leave us as soon as they are filled up, they sit in the UPS yard and are scanned all together - and it may not be until around 9:30 pm - so please don't drive yourself nuts checking & re-checking the UPS website!

2n10 Cream of the Crop More info | Oct 30, 2014 12:24 | #238 Very nice indeed. Since I am in financial services hell I am hoping Adorama will keep one for me since I pre-ordered when the bank finally credits a payment to my account.
