the long lens...bought!

before the GST increase kicks in (5 to 7%), i decided over the weekend to go get my 55-200mm VR...so i braved the massive crowds at lucky plaza and went down to lord's...surprisingly, the street price of this baby has dropped somewhat and i managed to pick it up for 395 buckaroosdancing

waiting now for this weekend to come around...time to do some shootingbig grin
