Touché.

I swear that I spend just as much time admiring the lens itself as I do using it. It's just so rare to encounter this kind of build quality in -anything- any more. It's such a great piece.

And I may do just that! If I can only take one lens with me to the next world ... it will be this lens with a TC glued to it ... on a 5D Mk III.

Yeah +1 on that. It will always be in my bag. I'm glad my copy was excellent out of the gate. Now it's become "What can I build around this lens as a good kit" instead of "what can I build around this camera bod to have a complete kit".
