It's Friday! It's just great knowing that tomorrow is the beginning of my summer holiday. We're flying tomorrow evening from Zurich to Iceland and staying the first two nights in a hostel near the airport. On Monday we're getting a rental car and will likely circumnavigate the island while staying in hostels and campsites. I have little idea what to expect so I will have to catch up on my Lonely Planet guidebook during the flight.

Last night I went for a walk to test the new lens. My first observation is that the lens is heavy and difficult to carry due to its size. I constantly had to shift between using shoulder strap and carrying it in my hand. Besides that, the lens is tack sharp and fun to use. Let's see how it (or we) perform in Iceland. See you in two weeks!
