As the title says I decided to get a real lens. Now I just need to learn more...

Still getting used to this - I've only used my kit lense before this (17-135/3.5;5.6)

I know one thing - it's a bit heavy and under a summer Texas sun it gets a bit HOT. - Though I like the fact it's made of metal.

Awesome lens purchase! I was gonna get that lens at one point until I got my hands on a sigma 70-200mm for $400. So I couldn't resist. Anyway, nice car, pics, and lens!

My gf just got that lens a couple weeks ago. I've been playing with it on my D700 since then and never want to take it off. The start of the Holy Trinity... LOL
