I've resigned myself to the idea that I'll have to forgo the new lens for tonight and make do with the 28-300 sigma with flash on one body and the 50mm f/1.8 on the other.
What are you shooting tonight?

Well, now that the urgency has passed I think it is safe to assume my lens will be arriving today . . .
Lol. Mine has cleared customs. I should get my filters today

I read somewhere online (can't find it now, frustratingly) that canon has a equivalent to Nikon's 18-200 VR in the works. Should be interesting - that might make a very nice travel lens.
Wiki has a fairly comprehensive list of Canon's ef lenses here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_lens_mount#List_of_EF_lenses and EF-s here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF-S_lens_mount#List_of_EF-S_lenses
I'm all spent out for now. I did manage to drop my sigma last night - no apparent damage though.

You manage to get your new one hooked up to a camera yet?

Shame dude. I don't have a SLR yet. I plan to get one at the end of this month. Customs just called me - my telescope filters will be delivered by 11:00. Charges from customs came to R399. A little more than I expected but very happy nontheless. If I had to buy this from a local store, it would've costed me thousands more...
I'll definitely be a regular customer of B&H now

Got my lens . . . finally
Awesome!
16-35 f/2.8 L, right?
Now you need a FF cam to take full advantage of it.
That said it will work great on your 400D, for now. (wide to midrange)
Yay indeedLol yeay
No point, my first two pics are traditionally of the lens cap and my foot - like to get those out of the way
16-35 f/2.8 L II
and yeah - the FF is on my wish list. koffiejunkie

Cool, third then. Why are you even still online? I'd be out shooting!

Rumor mill says Canon will be announcing some new DSLR(s) on 26 August. Some journos have been invited.
Speaking of which, I'm quite liking the idea of going to Photokina. It's not real expensive to get there, it's 20 bucks to go in, there's lots of eye candy (the cameras and the girls holding them) and they don't mind you taking pictures...

Oh yes, II!
Version II has better corner sharpness.
Working today though I might get a chance to use it this afternoon. I'll be happy if canon returns fire from Nikon's recent volley of releases.Cool, third then. Why are you even still online? I'd be out shooting!

In the short term I'd probably see if I could find a decent second hand 5D (assuming there is a glut when Canon actually replaces it).
I cant wait until that becomes an issue.
CRUD - my gear doesnt fit in my camera bag anymore.
