fairyruneFor some time now, I've been contemplating buying this lens for my DSLR.
I read a review of it the other day which said, in short, "Eh. It's ok."
Then I realized that since I already have a 18-55mm lens, and a 75-300mm lens, the only real advantage to spending five hundred some odd dollars on that one is that I'd have to change lenses less often.
Now I'm thinking that maybe I should just keep saving my money for a fisheye lens some months from now. That one retails for about seven hundred, so I should be good to go some time after Holidaymas.
Or do I want to buy something else entirely?
Why did I get into this hobby again?
Oh, right. Grandpa. Also, it's fun.
There's also this flash I want to buy, but that's a matter of considerably less angst, as there are far fewer choices when it comes to Speedlites.
