Camera style :bigok:

Decided this one was right around where I wanted to be, and Im trying it out for 10 days. If you guys are shocked at the price, believe me, for a good glass, this price range is still on the cheaper side of things. Its an investment though.

Nice, I am working on saving up for the 70-200 F2.8L IS. Damn $1,600 lense:(

I couldnt justify spending that much more for IS (or VR in my case) though :( For the price differences you can really invest in a decent wideangle.

My embarrassing moment ever owning a camera..

Long ago when I first got the Olympus C-5000, I saw someone had interchangeable lenses. Not knowing anything really I went to a Wolf Camera asking for aftermarket lenses. The guy asks to see my camera, and I whip out my sweet little point and shoot. Ill leave the rest to the imagination :lmfao:

:lmao: I haven't done that. Man I don't know where I would be without my camera I have now. I feel naked when someone asks me to take a pic with a point and shoot for them.
