Me: Yeah. Mostly birds and planes, but we should be able to use it for other stuff.


Wife: And we can have it now, right before our trip?


Me: That is true.


Wife: And it has more zoom than the other one? Isn't that the point of a zoom lens? She gives me in a slightly confused and somehow disappointed look.


Me: I'll go order the lens.


So great, Brant, LOL! I wish you good luck with this lens. Obviously so many are happy with it - it can't be a bad investment...


My wife'd say: You really want to get a zoom with such an extended range? And old school push/pull design? Can't be a good lens. (No joke, I heard her saying that when she watched someone using this zoom...)
