UPS just dropped off my new Pentax DA 55-300mm lense, a little after 5:00 PM tonight. I felt like a kid at Christmas waiting for it to arrive! (-:
I went out and grabbed a few shots ASAP. I didn't do any PP on the shots, but I just wanted to share since I'm so excited about my new lense!
Here's the little gem!
