Lens has been received as of today. Pretty good timing as next week is my spring break. Ridiculously busy the the next 2 days, so this bad boy is just going to have to wait till the weekend to get out and about.

Excited to get out and shoot!

I'm going to pm tiller. I'd like to get the lens by the weekend. I think I'm traveling to Charlottesville and a few winerieswwould like the lens to take with.

How about some samples of your images?

Will get some up soon. Im busier than I thought with school this semester.

Between the weather taking a nasty turn, manual focusing, and having no aperture control , I'm afraid I won't have much to offer. Hopefully Braineack will have more success than I did.

Got the lens today. I'll bring it down to Charlottesville with me on Saturday.

But how pissed would you guys be if I fell off the face of the earth, popped in from time to time to say I still had the lens, then eventually sent it back to Sparky after a few months once a new round started?

Added my share from yesterday.

Not a bad little lens considering the damage to the front element. It just really stinks when there's too much light in the frame. I've had to set almost all my highlights to -100 in post.

....some real nice stuff,there,Braineak!That shot of the chapel aisle would be an awesome candidate for hdr.Great shot without it,but that was the first thing that popped into my mind.The other thing that really came to mind was...a world without snow??Now there is proof!!Good job,and thanks for the update.
