What do you think about this lens?

"And for $80, you can't beat it with a stick."

Good Lord, I guess not! How'd you manage that?
The K10D has the shake reduction built into the camera so I can use a slightly faster workhorse lens and still get the benefits of some image stabilization. I think I paid maybe $160.00 for a Sigma 24-135mm, f2.8-4.5 aspherical lens. It's not top of the line but, realistically, it does everything I really need for what I do.
On the other hand, if I could get anything like the deal you got on a 43mm 1.9 or a 40mm 2.8, I'd jump all over it.

 

It was pretty easy, actually: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-...7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1186004399&sr=8-1

 

I paid $190.00 for the 1.4 on e-bay. Pentax used to make a 50mm 1.7 but they're hard to find now and there's not enough difference in price not to just get the 1.4.
My wife's got a wedding in a couple of weeks in a church with particularly lousy light. I expect I'll break out the 50mm for that one.

 

I just got it in today!!!!

Hopefully I can try it out this weekend!!!!

 

The 28 to 135 is the most useful lense that I have ever owned, you will enjoy
