This will be the first lens addition to my “Canon Rebel XT. I shoot mostly closeup and landscape photography and hope this will help me to broaden my photographic ambitions. Granted I would of really loved to have a Canon EF 17-40mm but at well over $1000 USD I will have to wait awhile longer before I can get it.

New uber super duper pictures coming soon! 3 days and counting, its like a late Christmas in January!
