And here she is in all her glory.

Julie_B · 04-01-2008, 02:44 AM

Truly stunning. That would have to be one of the best photos I have seen in ages

thomasjmpark · 04-01-2008, 02:54 AM

Thanks Julie, although I was referring to the lens, it did come out pretty well

Peter Zack · 04-01-2008, 03:55 AM

It is and a well taken shot but Thomas, you need to get outside more.

It is a great lens though. I had some time with one and it's on the shopping list, which seems to get longer and longer and longer.......

Nice shot Tom - I think through some favors I called in (with a bit of groveling haha) I am getting her sister delivered here next week

thomasjmpark · 04-01-2008, 07:10 AM

Good stuff Dave you will enjoy her im sure, blimey that sounds a bit rude

Seriously though when you get a good shot using it the results can be stunning.

Fritz · 04-01-2008, 07:29 AM

Mmmm, that is a beauty!

Maybe one of these days....

Tuner571 · 04-01-2008, 07:47 AM

Yes its been up a few mountains and in a few cities with me so far and its proving to be a real winner

Nice picture with great colours. Amazing how you have also managed to capture the micro texture of the smooth surfaces. Now we want to see something through it!

Man, Tom, to afford one of these you must be loaded. If I had your money, I'd just throw mine away. Enjoy the lens.
