Well, I got this new Canon 6.3 megapixel camera a few months ago (2 hours before a Mistress of Reality show) but the lens aperature only went to f5-5.6 which means you need a fair amount of light to get decent image and the more you zoom the more light you need. So I researched zoom lenses that had an fstop of about f2.8 and found a Tamron that would stay at f2.8 the whole zoom length, but at a price tag of almost $1500 made it impossible to get, especially at my rates
. But I just scored one on E-bay, used but in perfect shape for $401. It's the shit! Now I'm ready to really beg to go to Montana
