Default Momma got a new lens

woo hoo....we have been debating and would have loved the Canon but the price kept it out of our budget for awhile...we found the Tamron SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD [IF] Macro lens while in Minnesota and picked it up for under $800 with a filter - now getting those hockey photos of Hayden will only be easier!!

I can't wait to shoot : )

Way to go - I know you will love it - I have a Tamron lens (28-300 3.5 - 5.6)& love it. I bet for the price difference you will be VERY pleased with the Tamron. ENJOY - can't wait to see those hockey pics!
