HSM? I freakin' love mine. It's my go to lens. It's an awesome portrait lens as well as sports (assuming you're not shooting a full-size football or soccer field ).

I was shooting my son's soccer practice Tue and had the coach and another parent come up to me afterward drooling over it.

Yes it's HSM.

My daughter competes in horse back riding and between the mud arena's, some being in doors, the fact I can't get close and the speed of barrel racing,etc..my other zoom lenses weren't cutting it..

I hope..I'm having a blast with my camera and 3 other lenses but they fall short when it comes to low light..2 aren't fast enough and the other on is a 50mm.

I've got a Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 and love it. It pretty much lives on one body and gets used for everything from walks at the zoo to motorsports.

Post some new pics (of it and with it) when you get it

I hope so Sp1Grrl. I was at the exhibition today and despite the fact they put a fresh coat of white paint on the walls and some kind of silver backed insulation on the roof..the lighting still sucks in there..

I hope the lens comes soon..

Between the exchange rate and brokers fees if they ship it UPSucks..it makes it that much more expensive.

I really wanted it for this week.

I'll get it eventually..
