[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 70475, member: 9237"] Thanks guys! I live not even an hour from the harbor, and I've been there before to see Dream Theater when Ram's Head was called the Thunder Dome. (That was a better name IMO) I work for Kimpton Hotels and I do IT here in VA. I get $50 a night rooms on what would normally be $250+ a night stays in rooms that would boggle the mind, so I had to treat the woman right! Even went with the Deluxe upgrade and got her a stone bathtub jacuzzi while I was at it. It'll let me smoke cigars uninterrupted out on our private patio on the 6th floor :) Next on my list is the 11-16 Tokina. The goal is to have three total lenses I can travel with. One for zoom (16-85) one for super wide (11-16) and I already have the 35 1.8G and 50mm 1.8D for low light things, though I feel like I'd be using the Tokina most of the time just because it seems great with that 2.8 aperture. I'll buy the other one well.. once I pay off this lens on my credit card :P It's reassuring that you guys think highly of this lens. I was a bit on the fence for a long time about it reading all the reviews on this vs the 105, vs the 18-70. But in the end, I think I won't miss the reach and I certainly won't miss the price tag of the 18-70. VR, good glass and convenience of not changing lenses that often won it for me. [/QUOTE]
