Thank you once again for a great post! I am now a published photographer and writer here in Seoul, South Korea and will announce a a great experience that lead to being published in this summer's must have book for those who love design! I am trying to find a great school to study travel photographer or just photography in general somewhere in Europe or Asia. Would you know of any good schools, universities? I know that the South of France is famous for certain schools and I am researching that but if you or anyone else knows of a great school where I could study for a year or two, please share that info with me. Thank you! Felicia www.nearandfar.wordpress.com felicia369ny@yahoo.com Hello Lola!

The Vibration Reduction is great for not having to use a battery draining flash. If you're backpacking and need to just travel with one lens, this does the trick. At $850 its not terribly cheap however and their used to be a waiting list. Oh yeah, beware of all the NYC based online photo shops (at the top of all Google ads) that advertise it extremely cheap, when you call to place the order they will tell you that the price listed is for the "plastic" mount which is out of stock, and will try to sell you an upgrade...its a scam, there is no plastic mount!
