Ever since I made the wholesale switch from Canon to Sony a couple of years ago, I have not purchased a new camera lens. The one lens I have missed from my Canon collection was a 135mm prime, one of my favorite lenses of all time. After being rumored for almost a year, a Sony version was finally announced and went on sale at 10 am this morning. If not for meetings at work, I would have put my order in immediately but had to settle for getting in the queue by noon.  Sigma has offered a compatible version of this lens for some time but it is something of a monster and quite heavy.  While on the topic of camera equipment, an odd thing happened the other day.  Jeanine asked if I would be interested in photographing an important event for her.  I said yes.  She then suggested that Nico be a second shooter.  When I told her I no longer had a second camera body to loan him she was outraged and told me I should buy another.  I thought it important to document this conversation for future reference.
