Wooohoooo! Just ordered my new lens

[ET Awful]

Sigma 80-400 OS :).

This will be a fantastic wildlife lens :).

Can't wait to get my grubby paws on it.

1. Quanto?

or, How much, for the english-only crowd.

2. A lot :)

More than I spent for the camera (after rebate that is), but much cheaper than if I bought it locally.

If I'd purchased locally, it would have been $1300 +5% tax.

Purchasing on line I got it for $949 and put the shipping on my work UPS account (heavily discounted that way).

The camera, after rebate, was $880 so I spent more on the lens than on the camera :)

3. my semi-pro friend says go for the glass

$$$

body is not as important.

(See now ET, we have beautiful orange kitties and a love of photography in common!)

5. See my zoo threads from Sunday for samples :)

So far I'm very pleased with it. It needs a lot of light to do it's best, but even in lower light it works well.
