no the kit was a little more $ than i have ambition to go out and earn right now, maybe for mousefest i'll do some extra employment hours but not during the late summer/early fall, that's my favorite time of year and i have a pretty busy september schedule of car racing
plus i'm not decided between that lens or the 24-70 f2.8 right now, i have a family member wedding in mid october and i'm not sure which i want to rent for the occasion, leaning towards the 24-70, then maybe rent 24-105 for mousefest, compare and then decide which to buy
