Took the Plunge

[Dave Johnston]

Just clicked purchase on a 70-200mm f4 L should get here by thursday.


Someone comfort me as I am a student and this is big moolah for me.

That lens was my starter lens when I got back into photography after a 10 year lay off. I couldn't be happer with it. I got the IS verson though. It does a great job for me. Learn to use it correctly and you should be more than satisfied.

As opposed to learn to use it incorrectly and you may have trouble sitting down afterward? [:P]





Sorry, bad taste in jokes 2day.

You don't need comforting. You should be congratulated! A lot of students splurge their money on beer and other wasted consumption. You invested in great glass that you will be able to use for years and years.


Go take some pictures and have some fun doing it!

Well now you're just rubbing it in.


Don't think about all that beer you could have bought, Dave.


Joking aside, I owned that lens before I upgraded to the f/2.8 IS and I loved it. I had a crappy 70-300 before that, and I was happy to give up the extra reach for the better iq. (I threw the 70-300 in the garbage but the trash collectors wouldn't take it, so I use it as a rolling pin now)

Even they wouldn't take it? Sheesh. Sounds like my 75-300 tamron.... which is now 8 years old. Wonder what it will become?


Lamp?... Candle pedestle?... Bueller?

Congrats, I'm about to take the plunge myself .. once my retro pay comes in



But I'm making the 2.8 IS jump.

Learn to use it is very very good advice. Great photos don't come automatically, even with great glass.
