Learn to use it is very very good advice. Great photos don't come automatically, even with great glass.

Double truth, feeling confident with your kit helps a lot if you have the eye for a great photo

Got the lens... You all could not have been more right about how great it is.... It is an immmediately satisfying purchase and is lightyears beyond my old tammy lens. Thanks for your support all..

<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]I'm jealous I waited until I was married with a kid on the way, to really get into photography. Just to think of all of the money I wasted on stereo equipment, CDs and guns when I was a young single Marine [:'(].<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]

Congratulation!


I got mine a few months ago and just love it! I got IS version but that is just because I am a girl with shaky hands and even this sucker is heavy for me. Before I got it, I tested the one you got when I borrowed it from my friend and loved, loved it. It's a great lens and with enough space behind subject can create nice bookeh too, I got some great shots from this lens.


Great decision [Y]

I got mine about a month ago.


You have nothing to be comforted about. Congratulations are more in order here.


Rest assured though, you'll be happy.


I borrwed $270 from my parents and spent the past monthdoing yardwork and washing dishes to pay back the borrowed $$$. It was well worth it.


You'll absolutely love the lens.
