Completed My Kit, Again.

lol runninmann... if I keep it up, it'll be those lenses keepin' me warm at night.

Nice shot Jim. I would definately like to add the 30D to my sig!

Oh yea...

The very first shot from the 24-70... just so happens it was wide open (I usually go w/ f/3.5 or so when shooting my kiddo indoors).

She seems less than pleased that I've got yet another lens to aim her way. It seems on the money to me but I haven't done any sort of "formal" testing with it

I thought I was done with the 70-200 f4, but now I'm thinking I need the 135L sometime. Oh, it never ends. My hubby is wondering if my spending will ever end. Ah, nope.

Considering that's f/2.8... with no sharpening in CS2... well, it seems good to me at 100%.

Your exif on the image says f/3.5 nice picture though.

I'm in the same boat as you... my wife is always on me about my spending. I tell her, well at least now that I have the business registered and all, I can write it all off

That's what I need to do... register a business... the business of takin' pics of friends and family

Ok... so I'm loving this lens but just happened to check back on Amazon.com... and it's now selling (direct from Amazon, as I purchased it) for about $65 LESS. More than the single-rebate. I think I fall within the return guidelines. My question... should I return it and re-order it for the lower price?! I expected the price to drop compared to what I purchased it for, as Amazon's prices are always up and down... but $65? I didn't expect that at all.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestions! (kidding)

That's great. I've bought 2 lenses from Amazon.com. I ordered the Tamron 28-75 just before leaving for a 2 week trip to China that I wanted to take it on, but in enough time to take advantage of the free 5-9 day shipping. Well, due to unexplained delays in shipping, the timing became dicey. The customer service person I spoke with cancelled my order and placed another order with next day shipping at no charge. I got the lens, took it on the trip and enjoyed it immensely.

Wow... that's extremely nice customer service. I guess they actually see the value in return customers...

Getting the 24-70 for $1108 (-$50 in gift certs) - $50 (or $100 maybe)... not bad!

They do have great saving opportunities as well. I ordered my Sigma 30 from them on 10/31. They offered a business Visa with 6 months no interest and a $30.00 credit off first purchase, no annual fee. Their price before the credit was $376.51 (less than B&H psaug). The only problem was that it showed out of stock with an estimated delivery date of Dec 9. I decided that the wait would be worth it to get the lens for less than $350 (less than $60 per month), delivered. Again, I opted for the free shipping and tried to get my mind off of the anticipated long wait. Well, the lens showed up on my doorstep yesterday, November 6; less than a week after I ordered it. It probably helps that they ship out of Allen Park, MI; less than 50 miles from me.
