New Stuff

I got my new lens delivered yesterday afternoon.  This is the one I bought as salvage from Fireman's Fund and it was not working.  Paid $50 for it wit the hood and hard case.  Tried to get Canon to fix it, but, they said it was too old and they could not get parts.

They did give me a name of an authorized repair shop in Chicago.  I sent it off to them about 6 weeks ago.  Luckily, they were able to get the parts delivered from Japan before the earthquake.

I still need to play with it more.  It is a 300mm fixed focal length lens.  I added my 2x converter and make it a 600 mm lens.  Works great in low light as it goes down to 2.8 on the f-stop.  It is a heavy bastard weighing in at 6 pounds.
