    Awesome, you got it!

    I'll be using it all weekend. I have three family events to go to starting tonight. I'll be using them as practice.

    It's light weight isn't it? I also prefer the zippy sound over the grinding noise of my 28-105 Sigma but nothing beats Canon's USM.

    Thanks for the recommendation!

    Enjoy the family gatherings.

    I haven't even heard it focusing yet. It seems as fast and quiet as the only canon usm lens I have. The 28-90 kit lens.

    I'm taking it to Baltimore's Inner Harbour tomorrow to see what it can do.

    You and I are going to be poster children for this lens! :p
