So err, another new lens! Im getting quite a collection now, and i've finally managed to get an important addition to my collection with a telephoto zoom.

I had to settle for the DX format telephoto, equivalent to something like 80-300mm on Full Frame, but thats plenty for now. Its not the telephoto i'll settle for though, as i'm still set on one day owning the 70-200mm f/2.8.

Oh, and Canada is amazing. I've got another 3 days here, and we're visiting Niagra Falls this evening. A quick check on here shows that while theres a number of photos of this place already, they're all slightly flawed with Noise being a major issue. So i've got a benchmark at least to set myself against.

I've probably got about 20 more photos from my trip here that i'll upload at some point, mostly from the family wedding I attended in Montreal.
