After waiting for months I finally have it!:barb

Here are some of the first shots I took with it. (bought and shot with it today!)

Damn do I love the sharpness. Do many other Dgrinners have this lens and wish to share their thoughts and samples?

Congratulations! I've been lusting :lust after one of those, myself!

Nice shots - how much sharpening did you apply (in camera jpg settings, or post processing)? This would make the pics more useful to us gawkers.

Dane Thanks for the compliments.

Great shots.

That is a fantastic lens & worth every penny IMHO. It lives on my 20D most of the time.

Great lens for sure. Weather-sealed. Built like a tank. Great image quality. Ferocious focus speed. I loved using that lens to shoot motocross jump shots. Coupled to a 1-series I was always surprised how fast and accurate the focus tracking was and how good the pictures looked.

Enjoy your new toy!
