[Mr Bogus]

so how did you get this past your Mrs? Hi hon, hey I got a new lens today! was only $1400!! I saved tons! I have been wishing for a good 600MM lens but the $3G is a bit discouraging...

 

[omslaw]

very easily I'm single.

and don't think I wasn't looking at the 600mm but that one I had a hard time with.

it's by far the best lens I own and so far I'm very happy with it.

lenses are like drugs..... or bike mods...

for me zoom lens are very addictive. They are never strong enough and you always want more.

I got the same one, and other than it being a "little" large and heavy; wow, what pictures you get with it.

I almost thought your airplane pictures were my own...LOL

If you want another super "L" lens try the 24-105 IS f4.0L. It is quite an impressive one also. I use it a LOT.

yeah it's a little large but I can live with that. It will be nice to get a chance to really get out and play.

I have the same zoom for my D60.

You should also check out the Tamaron Pro lenses. They make several of the L lenses for Canon, but cost a few hundred less for the same lens.

I also have a Tamaron 14mm Super-Wide SP lens. It's the same as the Canon 14mm, but with gold trim instead of red.

Nice camera!
I have a Minolta Maxum with auto everything with a bunch of lenses. That camera could take some pictures. Still does, but it's like using a chisel and tablet these days...it just doesn't get used.

Dear Jim

That is a very nice lens! You're going to love it!

I have the 400mm 5.6L and 70-200 2.8L IS. The 70-200 is my favorite lens for portraits, but I use the 17-40 4.0L for most of our vacation shots.

That 600mm lens y'all keep referring to costs around US$7200 new. That's more than half a 'Busa!

Hey as long as we are on lens here, I have a 70-210 Vivitar that fits an OLD Minolta SRT-101 film camera. If anyone wants it, they can have for the shipping, since it will not fit my Canon cameras I use now. It is the glass elements and takes VERY good pictures.

Thanks I had the 35mm EOS and stopped using it because of the digital age. When I finally broke down and bought the new EOS I don't know what took me so long. I should have bought it years ago.

Thanks. Yeah $7200 is just a little much for just one lens.
