I did a thing. Rather, I bought a thing. A kind of expensive thing but a necessary thing.
At least I think it's necessary.
You probably will, too, once you figure out what it is.
Wanna guess?

Amazon had this deal, apply for their goddam credit card and get a $200 gift card.
My credit is pretty badass, so I said fuckit and applied.
Just for this thing that I wanted to get.
I got approved.
So I got the goddam card.
And I got the not-so goddam gift card.
And I got $200 off the thing.

These are corvids, by the way. Grey Jays.⬇️

The thing comes on Saturday.
I'm going to pick it up at one of the drop boxes because it's too important to leave on the doorstep.
Ohhhhhhh I can't wait.
Have you figured out what it is yet?

When the thing comes, we'll get to see all the faraway feathers.

We'll get to see this guy's irises and hairs.

Well get to see the detailed contours on the asses of these asses.

We'll get to see wtf these birds actually look like instead of saying "huh, nice stilted orange and white and black blob thingies on the water, there. What are those, buoys? You going lobstah fishin' on the salt lake?"

We'll get to see inside the ears of these antelope.

And when I get to Alaska we'll get to see right up the nose of the grizzly.

600mms.
1.5x crop sensor.
Pants-shittin' excitement.
Hurry up, Saturday.
Hurry the fuck up.

So, is this a badass lens of badassdom? Or an entire new camera, too?

Badass lens. Not the badassest of lenses, but still way more intrusive into the private moments of wildlife than the lens I have.

If it were turkeys instead of crows, would that make you a peeping tom?

Will you need a tripod for both the camera and the lens?

No, it's a heavier lens but still portable. I seldom use tripods because I'm usually out and about. Basically I don't have the patience! Lol
