I am hopefully getting one very soon. I am only a hobbyist and don't get out to shoot as much as I want but I still assume it'll be a good purchase, I mean, it'll last me for years will it not?

Anyways, I am envious until I get mine!

Years indeed! The resale value is quite nice as well. What do you plan on shooting?

That lighting setup is definitely not what I imagined.

What were you thinking it would be like?

I don't quite know, but it was different than that in my head LOL

Not too sure tbh haha. I have a 500D which is a T2i to you think idk and the longest zoom lens I have is the 28 - 135mm f3.5. I guess I shall use it for wildlife mostly.

I plan to go to New Zealand within the next couple of years and my cousin lives there and does roller skating so I told her I'd take some photos for her and this lens would be perfect for it.

In all honesty, I just want the lens because I know it would be useful for many different things.
