Well seeing as everyone here has been boasting of their latest acquisitions such as all the new D2X people of late, now it's my tern (bird joke):

ALEXANDRIA AU

Package available for clearance



This the mother of all lenses and will be great for portrait work and the odd wedding.

kipper,
It's nice to shoot models in fashion show and cat walk too! :lol: show it to wendellt, next time he is in Melbourne :lol:

As I said on another thread, give it a Santa hat and take a photo then send it to your sister in France, tell her, this is your new baby :lol:

Kipper,

This lens has been a long time coming, enjoy the moment the Eagle lands (sorry for the pun, but just could not resist it).

I would not be at all surprised if you could not see your sister in France from Melbourne with the new acquisition.

This lens must be really something to crow about?

Bet you're up at sparrow fart waiting for it!

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Should've ordered two of 'em.

Then you'd have a parrot 'em.

Perhaps you could use a 'crane' to lift it.

You could 'stork' Nicole Kidman too.
