thank you...I feel the same about it.  I don't do portrait stuff but I like chasing this little one around when I can and every once in a while, I get something that speaks to me.

cheaper options that do more than this out there now. gopro is late to the everyman market.

never had the issue, either...not discounting others' experiences but I've been pretty happy so i'm among the "easily pleased" simpletons that use this lens.

a bit of dust but nothing that seems manifest itself in pics...except my ineptitude.  I recently picked up the sigma 100-400 for a lighter lens and can't see any glaring differences.

got mine in japan the day they released (and the yen rate was good)...1K USD, if I recall correctly.

it does suck in some dust but I haven't seen a whole lot that makes it "inferior" to the G2...the G2 isn't enough to have made me "upgrade" to it.

key takeaway is that adobe optimize their end...

I am interested to hear feedback from others as well...I just want one to balance everything out when I have my 150-600 on.

it was raining and I was too lazy to walk around...
