    It is a fun lens. I just got it a few weeks ago and really haven't played too much, but enough that I have these two pics: First a HDTV screen

    Wow, Denise, I really love the first shot of the leaf cluster. They really stand out from the background!

    Not all prices are great at the Canon store, but when they want to, they crush everyone. Good catch and enjoy the lens.
    Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

    I was all excited about the $130 savings, and checked Canon Direct, but their price is currently exactly the same as B&H. Did Canon's price go back up or did B&H reduce theirs? Both are currently $1049.00 exactly.

    Hi Philip,


    The $130 savings was for the Refurbished lens. B&H has a Used Store that has used and refurbished gear, and Canon Direct has a refurbished section. The 100mm L was listed at B&H refurbished for $970, and Canon Direct had it for $840. I think Canon Direct is currently out of stock...I think I got the only one they had.


    The price you have listed in your post is for the brand new lens, I believe.
