    Just a little.

    He's half the reason I exist clap.gif

    All I know is, as soon as that lens arrives, I'm gonna be EVERYWHERE zooming in and taking pictures. Leaves, bugs, dirt, rocks, dust, pennies, anything small, I'm gonna snap it.

    No zoom on that lens! But, it's a very sharp one. I was working with a lady doing macro stuff last week. I offered her the use of my lens because she was working with the canon 17-85 and an extension tube and getting frustrated. She tried that lens and now her husband likes me less! If I were at home, I'd post a shot from it - oh well.

    Sorry, I didn't mean actually zooming with that lens. I meant zooming as in it gets closer than my standard lens. I should have said focusing :)

    I'm horrible at misusing the lingo :hide



    UPDATE: I just got a call from my dad, the lens has arrived. I repeat, the lens HAS arrived.

    That is all

    It was on my doorstep Sunday morning Andy.

    Probably arrived Saturday, but we were gone from home Saturday with graduation exercises for my nephew.

    You are going to so love this lens. Just seeing how excited you are about this lens makes me grin.

    As promised, here are a couple of shots I have taken in the last week or so with this lens.

    So, when you get it, you are obligated to share a couple of nice shots!
