Well, I haven’t really got around to playing much with the lens but I’ve taken a few test shots: they will be up shortly. But, to give you an idea of the scale of this thing, here’s a picture of it taken next to my old Sigma 70-300mm APO DG - shortly to be for sale if anyone’s interested…

It’s a fabulous bit of kit. The IS is really quite something, and I’m not sure how I’m going to live without it on any future glass I buy. Next on the list is the 24-105mm f/4L - I think I’ve been thoroughly bitten by the L bug. Damnit.

Other than that, I’ve had another exam, Fractal Geometry. It went pretty well: the exam was easier than last year’s paper and I managed to do about 60% of that without too much trouble. I’ll post a full breakdown of the exams after I’ve finished Information Theory on Saturday morning. And then there will be much cheering, for I shall have finally finished my year.
