Whether photography is a hobby or a career you begin to realize that the glass you use is the most expensive thing you will encounter (even over the camera body that you select). Over the weekend I got a chance to play with a 24-70mm F2.8 lens and it was awesome! I got it for a charity event that I was a part of on Sunday and it behaved beautifully! This was a test shot that I did as soon as I opened the box. BTW, the Logitech Harmony remotes (pictured above) = WIN!
