After two loooooooooong weeks of heartbreaking anticipation, due to greek customs' drama, I am the happy new guardian of this "OMG" glass.
Photo straight out of camera, all KP settings to OFF (except SR of course) without any kind of post processing. Did I say OMG!!! ???

Many thanks to Mr "84 years old member" Murray from Canada for entrusting this glass to me.

Don't tempt me with a shot like that. I already have some legendary glass and if I get more I may not have a wife.

LOL!! I feel 'ya. I hit the wall with the last lens purchase this past week. It can't hurt to LOOK, but I'm done with camera gear buys. Wife's turn to get the deck underway.

But Winter is coming.
