Last week, I posted (Tears, 3/3) that my 55-200mm zoom lens was damaged during our recent travels. After some digging, research, and discussions, I decided to replace the lens with the same, but used. Fujinon 55-200mm f3.5/4.8. My local-ish camera store made me a pretty good deal, probably close to what a repair would've cost, w/o the time delay of shipping to Fujifilm, and the uncertainty of an evaluation. This is the first post from the new lens (which I picked up yesterday).
So I'm back in business, although a bit lighter in the bank account!
So sorry to hear about the lens! I’m glad you managed to find a replacement.
Wonderful photograph. The heron is really beautiful. I love the pale blue grey colour. It appears as if the bird is stalking something.

Thanks all! Happy to have replaced the lens, still sorry about my inattention leading to the other being damaged.
Yes, @cocokinetic, he/she was hunting, stabbed into the water a few times but I didn't see it make a catch.
