Hmmmm.... I'd really like to know how it performs in low light. Although,
most of the time I'd be shooting someone who has a spotlight on them, so
that would help. And, at $500, that would get me through until later next
year when that spiffy new Oly pro lens comes out. If it's around $1200, I
could probably figure out a way (provided the wife has found employment) to
tuck that money away. Maybe it's time to start selling off the contents of
the basement...
I could rent one from lensrentals.com for the show I have coming up in
November, and see how it works (it's only $40 for 6 days...) Or, I could
just realize I could use it for a bunch of things and just get it.
