"THE CANNON" 70-300mm IS lens... off my XT
Picture023.jpg

The Old WorkHorse 350D with my 17-85mm IS lens...

The kit also came with a new battery, charger, 18-55mm lens (it really is pitiful). The 10x30 IS binoculars are backordered unfortunetly so I havent got them yet, but I can wait. They would have been nice for the game... but oh well. Next stop, The Bronx zoo and lets break this bad boy in!! I plan on having 1000 frames on this body before I'm 10 miles from the Meadowlands!! See you at the game!!
