Very sharp lens. It's worth every penny - if you have that many to spare. In for more shots when you get the chance.

Bubble, you need to give me some DSLR tips. I am such a noob to this, I want to get good at it so I can capture my daughter as she grows.

I bought a Sony Alpha 350 14.2 MP with the following lens.

Sony 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 Standard Zoom lens
Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Super-Telephoto Zoom Lens

Do you have any good sites I could read or recommend any books? Man, we should get together for lunch one weekend.

I have no idea where you get your money, nor do I want to.
