It's not so bad. Here's what you need to get started IMHO: a good tripod, more memory cards, Photoshop, the nifty-fifty, a wide angle lens, a telephoto zoom like this deal, a master external flash, a slave flash, ... eh, ok, it's bad.
You guys don't even want to get me started. I have 2 Jobo film processors that cost 4 grand each new, a really nice 4x5 outfit, complete darkroom with 4x5 and color enlarger, 2 medium format systems, 2 really nice film scanners (one was 2 grand), and tons of 35mm gear. Thats just the stuff that is worthless now....
This is a great deal on a fantastic lens. Sharp as a tack even wide open and much lighter than the 2.8
+1 it's as sharp as they come...
See that's why I'm not getting a decent DSLR. Guys like you are going to make me spend a fortune on stuff like this.
LOL #3! I just got a T4i and I am having that sinking feeling that the spending has barely begun !

Or get a used IS for a hair more than this price.
