I’m a very happy man today :) I just brought my new baby home, weighting just 705g. And yes, it is the 70-200mm f/4 L I’ve been eyeing for a long time :) just felt that I had to bite the bullet today. Guess I have to go duck hunting tomorrow ;)

Btw, I'm sure this would never have happened if I hadn’t found POTN :D

Thanks everybody :) I’m sure it was a wise buy, I just hope I won’t get the fever I’ve heard these babies are carrying. At least my 350D is very happy for the new pal.

Ryan, it's so dark here right now (8:18 PM), and a storm is coming in. But I’m sure I’ll find at least one duck to shoot tomorrow, so that I can post the pic in this thread.

Its an unbelievably sharp lens and one of the top 3 L's money can buy i think personally.

It's funny... as wonderful as this place is (and it really is) it is equally as dangerous to the pocketbook. :lol:

Congrats on your new toy!!!
