Default i can has L glass?

i wanted to rent a lens to take with me to a match i'm going to in georgia and a photog buddy of mine suggested this one. i played with it a bit today when it came in and it was phenominal. i can't wait to put it to use.



ill post a few of the shots i took when i get to work. i'm not a photographer by any stretch but even through the v/f they looked great.

I'm not sure if he wants to get pictures of front of people shooting guns... they make for more cool shots but i heard they can be very deadly at the same time.

I was referred to http://www.lensrentals.com/ which is where I went with. I placed the order at 4:30pm and it was at my house at 3:30 the next day but they are in TN which is in the same UPS region as we are but when you pay shipping it's 2 day UPS Air to you and return shipping is included. I wanna say I paid $91 for a week (7 day) rental.

I rented a wide-angle lens from my local camera shop last summer. I think it was like $35 for the weekend or something. It was a good way to check out some nice gear that you can't necessarily afford. :happysad:
