Well I had the day off work today and I had two hours to kill and guess where I went? Well I went to the camera store to look at the lens I've been waiting to get my hands on and well here is lens numero 2

The lens:
















I slaped it on to my Rebel and took these:




Oh, and here is my collection of lenses so far


Small but it's coming.

Oh I was able to play around with the exact same lens but in the f/2.8 range and I liked the f/4 better, I wanted the IS and the weight was significant too...well that's just me.

Sorry for all the pictures but you guys know me and pictures

Well so far I've got the 10-20mm, this lens is quite nice. Its really wide, what it does is that it will capture a large area even though your only feets away..now if your far a way and you want to zoom in this lens is not meant for that. This 10-20mm is meant for tight areas, like in my garage for example.

This new one that I purchased is quite the lens, it has great zoom and the quality is great, I took some pictures wile at the store, you know testing it out (as best as I could that is) and boy the Image Stablizer (IS) makes a big difference. First lens I have with IS and it's quite nice....any who, what this lens is good for is that it has a nice range from 24-105mmmm...meaning that it will zoom in quite nice but it compliments my wide angle lens 10-20mm becuase the new lens starts at 24mm....oooh another nice thing and tod pointed this out is that it does agreat job at giving you that nice blury background (Depth of Field) and I very much enjoy bluring the back ground

Now this is the advice i was given when I first started looking at some lens, ask your self what do I want this lens for. Me, I want these lens for detailing and that's why I've upgraded from my kit lens to these two lenses, together I should be able to capture/document all the details with some good quality images.

I still have lots to learn but slowly I'm getting the hang of the Rebel and the new lenses and all the photography mombo, jumbo lingo/technique...but slowly is the key word lol.

Hope this helps...oh and I'm not expert, I just read and read and when I feel I'm ready I go a head and purchase...but that's just me.
