Default May I just say..... Whoohoo!!!
:happy happy happy dance:

Please join me.

I got THE BIGGEST surprise this evening, having put my kids to sleep - I came down the stairs and on my laptop there is a UPS package waiting.
With a note: "Surprise!"



So there is my "just-passed-your-exam-and-soon-you-have-a-birthday-gift" all in one: a brand new shiny sweet little Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 lens!
Yes, that is a fixed f/2.8 thank you very much!

It might be a third-party lens, but it is ONE MEAN little lens that is supersharp and fast. And wide. And did I mention sweet?

I can't wait to try it out in daylight tomorrow!!!

I have to say, my dh might be a major pain in the *rear* occasionally, he sure knows when it's the right time to make up for it....

oh WOW! Congrats to you... the exam (wonderful!) but also on getting that sweet lens. And happy birthday, too.

I am so jealous! I want one too! (It's on my wish list.) I'm sure you're going to take some marvelous pics and I can't wait to see them, and hear how you're loving that lens.

I'm drooling a bit here.
