no, unfortunately not, that is a 120$ accessory.
luckily the lens is so light that until you are using long exposure its not often needed. |

The 2.8 is a MUCH bigger lens than the 4.0. I checked them both out at the store. Mine is supposed to be here Monday (the 4.0 that is). I don't feel a real need for speed in this range, and I get a lot of my shots by hiking places, so I opted for the 4.0... I didn't see a need for the tripod collar either.

My critique: Overall, nice photo. Great subject (Canon). If I have any suggestion, I would try to clear up the slight fuzziness on the left side of the camera body - probably caused by extreme excitement of having the new lens. Speaking of the lens, nice capture. ;-P |
