Ever since Nikon announced a 'release date' of November 23 for this
lens, some of us have been wondering where it is. Adorama finally sent
an email this morning saying mine has been shipped. A nice Christmas
present indeed, considering that it will not be here before Christmas.

Still, I am looking forward to using this lens. This morning I counted
(in my front yard) two bald eagles, a great blue heron, several flocks
of ducks of different varieties, three loons, half a dozen seagulls of
two or three species, and numerous smaller shorebirds and others that
winter here. So I think I can keep this lens busy for awhile, at least.

Hmmm. Well, it finally showed up. I see now why all those other bird
photographers drive big heavy vans.

The ... special ... bokeh of Nikon lenses cost extra.

And since Nikon is later in the alphabet than Canon, they'll
always be behind and cost more!!!1eleven :->

But you can always ask Leica for glass.
