Today we went to sacramento to find a halloween costum for me, but gave up pretty fast. I just hate to shop in totally crowed areas with people all around me.

I also got the chance to play with a nikon 17-55mm F/2.7 AFS at the ritz camera store in sacramento. And boy this lens is nice. It's not as large as I though and the pictures quality looks just great.

is it 1200$ worth? I doubt it, but it is nice.

To the left a sparrow shot with the nikon 70-300mm VR at 300mm and ISO 1250. Picture is basicall uncropped.
