B&H makes this way too easy. Half hour drive, free parking, tons of glass in display = bad combo. Name is Peter and here is my gear:

I went to a new camera store yesterday that had the 85 1.2 lens on display. I have never held or seen it in person until yesterday. All of the pictures and talk about it online do not do it justice, the lens is beautiful (and massive)! Now I have to have it! Has this happened to you? Yeah, I held a D3 once in BH....

I only want lenses after I do an excessive amount of research about them and make sure that they will be to my liking. (One of my minor OCD characteristics) And I do have a Calumet near me, but I've never gone out of there with anything that I did not intend to buy before entering it. Apparently I've been dubbed Foxy.

While I was there I tried Canon's 70-200/2.8 IS, which instantly blew me away, especially the very visible advantage of IS. I had not planned on such an expensive lens at the time but I returned the Sigma on the spot and got the Canon lens instead. Anders Östberg - Mostly Canon gear - My photos

I was very happy with it
