New Glass

I caved. There it was, staring at me through the glass case in Glazers, pleading me to take it home. So, I did. I've been looking for a fast 200mm zoom lens for a while and when this Nikkor 80-200 AF 2.8 ED D lens showed up and my local camera store I couldn't resist. It didn't help that I just got a bonus from my primary employer. :) This lens is really pretty great. I've only had it for a week and the high speed tele bug has bitten me bad. Ebay found me a nice Nikon 300mm AF ED F4.0 lens yesterday. Ouch, had to have it to. I've got to get a check in the mail for it tomorrow. Checks? Who uses cashiers checks on ebay anymore? Oh well, I guess not everyone has a paypal account.

So, combine these two lens and my also recently aquired Tamron 1.4 pro teleconverter and my helicopter ride in Hawaii next week should be very rewarding. I can't wait.
