Got this amazing lens yesterday. Haven't been able to do much with it yet but I can tell you that it's sturdy ( and heavy) lens. I took a few random shots on my way back from the store and I think it'll do good as a street portrait lens as well. Specially since it gives you some distance.
I'll put down my review on my photography blog around next weekend I guess.
BTW Kata bags are really nice for carrying your photo equipment and your laptop around. Lowpro are way over-priced.

Locked out of WoW
It's been a while. I have been busy with a QuickStart I am doing for a client here in Chicago. I have always had to ask friends in the US pick up WoW / BC for me. But I got here on 10th and the latest expansion came out on 13th so I had to get this one.
I tried to track down the stores near by, but the biggies like GameStop, BestBuy, etc are all pretty far off from where I stay. In my haste I ended up ordering the WOTLK Strategy Guide from amazon instead of the real game. It's going to take a while to ship anyway so I didn't buy the game on amazon.
At last I asked a guy at a nearby RadioShack if I could get PC games close by and he pointed me to FYE, a 3 min walk from my place.
So I finally got the game!!! Tried to install only to find out that I didn't have enough disk space :(
This means I'll have to get rid of my beloved linux... but the next project requires windows anyway so I am going to go ahead and do it this weekend.
So why am I writing this post instead of playing my existing version of WoW?? Well in my excitement I went and upgraded my account to WOTLK. Now when I log in it says I need a WOTLK client :(
