Philippe Roger said:Anand,
Congrats on the new gear! That's a sweet lens, isn't it? You'll see... the more you use it, the lighter and smaller it gets. :lol: I no longer think about it, at all. That said, if you are going to keep it in the shooting position for a while, you may want to consider using a monopod, to make it lighter... even more so with a TC. Do you have one already, or is it (are they) in your future? :roll:
Nice family pics! 8)

Mike, you have some of the finest glass nikon ever makes! Come on![]()
obelix said:Thanks Harry. I guess I have to borrow a few heavy lenses. What 300 f2? Bjorn got an early access lens?
greyflash said:Nice images and yes that is one fine lens. This is my second most used lens behind the 17-55mm.
obelix said:Thanks Gordon, the 17-55 is next in line![]()

Shame on you, Anand. Have you given up any pretense at fiscal responsibility? Are
you going to squander your daughter's college fund on glass?
But more importantly, how did you convince your wife to let you buy pro glass :wink: ?

1) Pay lots of extra tax each year
2) Buy 2-3 not so expensive used lenses in that range
Sell the lenses. You can then buy pro glass for $400-$500 out of hand and the tax refund comes in handy
When you tell your wife, it is "about $400 more and the tax refund will cover it"![]()

Devious, disingenous... and clever as hell :twisted:.
I like the way you think, Anand 8).
