Oh boy. Late last night, I spent more on a camera lens than on my monthly mortgage!
I've been eying this lens for quite some time. Perhaps since last fall? I can't recall exactly when the coveting began, but this is a HUGE purchase for me. I'm glad Brian let me indulge. I'm excited for the lens to get here so I can get ample practice in before my SIL's wedding in September.
Next on the upgrade list is a camera body. I wanted the Canon 40D, but it looks like the camera body has been discontinued. However, it's still available with body/lens kits. Eh, once the shock of this latest lens purchase wears off (our last major camera purchase was 18 months ago), Canon will probably be introducing yet another camera body.

Yay! As you know, it's a great lens. Think of it this way; even though it was expensive, you'll enjoy it for years and years. Your mortgage only buys you a month. Also, when it's not on your camera, you can use it as a weight. It will build muscle. :)
That's true... you should probably wait and see what new camera body will be out by the time you are ready to buy. How do you like the 70-200mm lens? Wow, it's an "L" series. I was looking through Shawn Starr's camera 3 days ago (he had the 5D MkII) and a full-frame camera looks sooooo nice. I want one! :) Aiyaya... photography is such an expensive hobby!
