it just figures

its been absolutley beautiful here in northern california for the past 3 weeks. for the most part, bright sunny days in the mid 60s. i get my new lens in the mail yesterday afternoon...and sure enough its pooring down rain today. i mean what the hell, same thing happened when i got my XTi, beautiful mid 70's then BOOM rain. when i got my 50 f/1.8, next day, rain. its even worse then when you wash your car, the rain is harder and comes faster. i give up

Think positively! It gives your models that wet look.

true

i was able to play with the nifty because it works wonders inside as well as out...but my new 70-300 sure doesnt like being inside

If you think the rain is a disappointment, just wait till you take that 70-300 out for a spin.

Sorry, I shouldn't rain on your parade ...being a Nor Cal resident as well...

Where abouts are you? It was sunny and dry in my corner of the state.

im up in the santa rosa area now, im a college student, and cant swing the more expensive lenses, so i will make do with what i have.
