Topic: New Camera Lens

[Skhilled (OP)]

I asked for Amazon.com gift cards for Xmas and my b-day and got $50 for Xmas and $50 for b-day.  :yahoo:

I asked for them in anticipation of getting a new lens come tax refund time and new that any amount would help my cause.  riteon I originally was looking at a few cheapo's but ten decided that I would not be too happy with them and knew that they would also not have VR (vibration reduction to reduce camera shake) which usually adds about $200 to a lens.  :yikes: After mulling it over for a few weeks, I've decided on this one:

I ordered it Wednesday and got it on Thursday!   :danban: I've also ordered a reflector which has not arrived yet:

The lens does not have special macro features so my next lens will be specifically just for that.  :bigteeth: The next thing I'll probably get will be a dedicated flash or a tripod.
