This lens would be a HUGE help for my photography at Jazz at the Bistro. It is the perfect lens for low-light situations because of it's speed (large aperture=more light). It is equivalent to increasing the ISO by about 10 times with no increase in noise. I would finally be able to shoot at ISO 400 or so and still get well-lit photos. This lens is also considered to possibly be the best all-purpose lens available. Perfect for traveling, landscapes and portraits, as well as low-light.Anyway, we'll see what happens, hopefully I will be able to purchase this soon, but at $450, who knows.

Here are a couple of shots from the opening weekend at the Bistro with my not-so-perfect for low-light situations lenses.
This past weekend I went up to Pere Marquette State Park for a busted camping trip (a severe thunderstorm rolled in around 8:30 p.m.). Here are a couple of shots from a hike that was supposed to be about 3 1/4 miles, but turned into being more like 6 1/2....woops...
One of these coming posts I'll talk about HDR photography, something I'm looking into...
Welcome back!
