Well I did it. 300 2.8

Well, did you, huh? You lucky dog, you.

Yeah, I'd love to come to California to marry our pixels together. I was in Vegas a few weeks ago with the family. That's the closest I've ever gotten to California. I wanted to go to San Francisco this year (I've been to Vegas six times in the past seven years) but the kids wanted Vegas. As soon as I can leave them out of my plans, I'll be sitting in your diner. Count on it.

I would love to sample Dante's burgers too Mark.

Does he allow english folks in his diner..

This is going to end up being the thread that pushes me over the edge to buying this awesome lens, that I really don't need at all, but just simply want.

I bet Dante is holding his new baby right now!

Congrats.

yea where are the pictures of the lens Dante, weve been on pins and needles for days now and you are leaving us hanging. you better either be A. out shooting, or B. passed out in happyness upon opening it (and landing on a very comfortable bed.... and not dropping the lens in the process). I want to seeeee ittttt.

what, you never saw the 300 2.8? there is a pic of it on the first page of this thread...

Ok, where is the water fowl, kid, or pet picture? I bet the first picture with the new lens will be of his kids.

Funny you should say that Buster! We have a regular group, that we call the English Contingent. Group of 4 to 8 Brits that come in and get smashed, tell dry humor jokes and put vinegar on their crisps (french fries to you yanks!). Quite the nice lot.

When are you coming out Busterboy? Come on, you know the misses wants a tour of california and the wine country!!!


Mark, Get in your car now, it will take 3 days to get here if you only stop for gas and coffee. I know I did it once! I'll keep the light on for you.

get in his car huh? he might want to get smashed before he hears that plan if you expect him to adopt it

OK OK I know its not a Duck, but it is a Filipe. The clerk of the neighborhood Gelato Store.

First is a shot, followed by the crop. Gonna go shoot some ducks!!! Oh, and all you that are wondering how this lens is? Well remember your first orgasm? Mods, can I say that? Regarding pics, I cant access my FTP server so I had to use save for web and the POTN upload, so quality is not all there. WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
