Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L

Hmmm....now that I re-read it again I see that it's wrongly stated. I meant to say that it would cancel out the weather-sealing benefit of the 70-300 which you stated as one of the 2 benefits of the 70-300L. In other words, with an extender the 70-200 is still weather-sealed and the only remaining difference is the smaller size of the 70-300. (but then the 70-200 would be an f4 lens, so that's a major benefit as well)


In conclusion, buying the 70-300L next to your 100-400 and 70-200 f2.8L IS would be only logical for the size-reasoning in my opinion.


I hope my idea is a little more clearly right now? [A]

Got it...sorry I misunderstood! Still considering it, but it would be a while in any case since my funds just went to a new 17" MacBook Pro. [8-|]

Don't forget the obvious, it gets you one lens closer to owning all of the L series lenses and completing your collection [:P]

I guess it was my bad English, so don't feel sorry [;)] Haha was the "old" Mac written off already? I though Apple computers would last at least 10 years without a single prolem [:P]

Haha!!! And when you're done with that, you'd want a second set to fill up the gap once you take one out of your trophy cabinet to actually use it [A]

I think the cheapest way to have a long reach is to have the 7D auto focus at F8 when use with a 1.4XTC or practice you manual focus skill like when we were in the old time[:@]


Oh! please, Canon, it's not that hard right?

Brant,


Thanks for your tips... I got the 70-300 L and, a least for now, it seems to fit my picture style... Maybe in future I can get a 400mm prime lens.

Great. I look forward to seeing some pictures. Hopefully they don't make me too jealous! [:D]

This is not the best shot ever... But it's the first picture I took using the new lens...[:D]
