Bit the Bullet
Contemplated and contemplated over purchasing this this lens. Asked myself,,,,,,should I rent it first or, just bite the bullet and purchase it. Well, I had an office Christmas party to attend. Unique was having their Camera Show. The offer made this an ideal time to buy,,,,,, (no tax and $150 mail in rebate equaled $265).........Needless to say, I bite the bullet and bought this lens the day before the party. Took 115 photos at party. Low light. Shots were spectacular. Everyone was amazed. This lens could break the bank but the rewards are worth it if you truly love photography.
