It took me a week to work up the nerve to hit the buy it now button....but I just did it, transaction completed. Next week I'll be playing with my new friends
the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8
and
Canon EF 85mm F/1.8
I think I need to go lie down now

I don't know *what* exactly they do...but I'm green with envy! Lol! :) Way to go! Whatever super cool things they do, you're going to love having them.

Wow! Congrats on your new toys - good luck with them.

I love the 85! That one and the 50 are my favorites by far. I posted some pics that I took the over last few days with my 85 just so you can see what it is capable of. Just saying... :) You won't be sorry you bought it.
Posted by: ashley | October 02, 2007 at 08:43 PM
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Steph | October 02, 2007 at 08:57 PM

We love our wide-angle...I think you'll be surprised at how many uses you find for it. High fives to you for doing this - you deserve it!
Posted by: Brenda | October 03, 2007 at 10:21 AM
I have those two exact lenses. In fact, they are pretty much all I use. I love, love, love the canon 85 mm and I really, really like the Tamron. It's not as crisp as the canon...but it is a good wide angle...for large groups and such...a real bargain for the price.
Posted by: Sarah | October 03, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Awesome! I want these!!! :)
Posted by: Petra | October 03, 2007 at 04:42 PM
Can you give us an update on how much you like your new lenses? I am thinking about the 85 mm, but need more convincing to spend the $$!
Thanks.
