Well, my wife just called. Brown just dropped off the 100-400 IS at the house.:D I'll probably take a look at it tonight, but it will be about a week before I really put it through its' paces. (I'd have waited another week to order, but I wanted to get the order in before the B&H Shutdown).

Congrats. That was nice of your wife, that wouldn't have happened to me, my wife would have probably hidden it ;)

If I knew one was coming I'd have called in sick.

Welcome to the world of weightlifting!! You'll end up like popeye after carrying it around for a while :D

I bought mine a month ago and due to work have only been out with it for a couple of days, its AGONY not being able to take it out for a spin!!!!

Or do what I do... Get it delivered to work!

No personal day penalty, the wifey doesn't find out AND you get to take a long lunch. :p

The wife is getting back at me. She let me handle it when I got home, but is masking me put it up until my b-day - about another week. I think that is cruel!! But I love her anyhow, she pretty much lets me get what I want. Next is a 24-105, then 100 macro, then 300 2.8.

At least I won't have a good chance to use it before then. In the meantime, I will live through you guys. So close, yet do far!

And yes, wives do know about B&H. :lol:

I can't imagine what my wife would do to me if I kept one of her clothing purchases from her for a week?!?!!!!

When I found out my 70-200 2.8 IS was being delivered yesterday I took a vacation day just to meet brown at the door. Yesterday was trash pick-up day and every truck sound I was peering out the window. It was a long day.....:D
