Beach says shipping in 7 days, and Norman said "Limited Stock". I called right away...and they had 2 left. Now there's 1 left

Be good to see how the new kid on the block performs in your capable hands. I haven't been that impressed so far but I'm sure if there is magic to be had then you will find it https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

At the mo' either would really suit so many folks at a much friendlier price. Even if it's better then the cost/benefit will be an intgeresting asessment, a bit like the dull Sigma/Tamron/Canon weekly 'discussions' https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

forsakenme720 Senior Member  910 posts Joined Mar 2006 More info | Wow, I thought that was going to be the "suggested retail price." Not the actual one. It better be one hell of a lens. As another said, it better work some magic. If it does, I may consider selling my soul to get it Cameras: Canon 20D, Canon Rebel XT (converted to infrared)
