Thank you for the reply. I really do not have a budget (my wife cant see this can she? LOL) , I would rather buy a lens that I will have for many years and take the best quality pictures. I am going to take a course in photography in the Fall to lean about the camera and the lens that I choose and get the most out of both.

Do you think the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens is a crazy purchase, or a good investment?

Thank you again, Bruce
