| ...Waiting for that brown truck. After putting it off for over a year, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 135mm f/2.0L on Sunday. Should see it tomorrow via UPS. Drool. |

I'm either buying or renting that lens for a shoot coming up the first week of April. I keep trying to convince myself that I only "really" need it for this one event. But the lens hog in me keeps insisting that once I buy it I'll find a multitude of uses for it.
I need a bigger bag!
Do let us know what you think of the lens!

You know what the scary thing is...
You added it to your list of lens BEFORE you actually got it.

| I rented that lens and enjoyed every minute of it. And since then I have been keeping my eye open for a good deal on it. Enjoy. |

The 135 F2L is one of my favorite primes.
 
 
My only beef with it, is it has a tendency to hunt ever so slightly in the darkest of situations without a good are of contrast. But man are the images sharp. Link to a straight out of camera shot with it and the 1DMKI

Did it come?
Is it there?
What did you gift the UPS guy/gal?
Oh...
What are you doing online?
It didn't come, did it?
You'll be on pins and needles until tomorrow, won't you?
My sympathies... |
