My hubs and I made a trip to Norman Camera shop in Grand Rapids last Saturday. (My friend and fellow photog pal Leilani Tucker has been raving about this place, well, ever since I met her! She also recommended I buy the lens that we were on our way to purchase. We finally found time in our schedule to take a road trip to GR and buy the lens. Each time the Nuvi had us turn on another road that brought us closer to our final destination it amped up my excitement another notch. Finally we arrived--MECCA! I hopped out of the truck and went right in (they were quite busy) and we had to wait a bit for someone to help us...I strolled over to the tri-pods to while away some time. Soon, hubs gave a holla and it was TIME! I scurried over to the counter, boldly told the man what I would like...the Canon 2.8 24-70mm L series lens. Finally it was in my hands. I slipped it onto my camera body, snapped a couple of pics and said "I'll take it!" He gave me a quick look, and I explained that I had already tried it out by renting one from Lens Giant, so I knew that it was for me. I felt like a star, on the way out other customers were looking at me, nodding their heads, telling me it was a great purchase, a good choice, that I would love the lens. Wow! Can't wait to go back and get my tripod--the Manfrotto! Thanks Hubs for believing in me and gifting me with this wonderful lens!
