My canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens came in today. I think I'm wet a little.

Without doing anything but pressing the shutter it somehow magically finds the PERFECT focus and makes the sharpest images I've seen (only played with it for 15 mins so far, stay tuned for confirmation).

It also came with two 77mm filters-- a UV filter (this one was $150. The cheapest kind are around 20, priciest around 300 but nobody buys those!!!) and a polarizing filter... the price tag still on it, $250. Those basically go up to 350 for an overpriced one. The little piece of glass itself feels like a fukken lens, it's amazing. I bet I could play frisbee with it and not put a scratch on it.

-----anyways getting on a bit of a tangent, here's how big I thought it was going to be (roughtly, but you get the idea... I thought I was being modest by thinking it would be THIS big):



Reality:



People are going to think I own a bazooka.
