Lenses on the way!

[Brendan7]

OK, finally ordered some lenses!


Unfortunately I couldn't order the 70-200 2.8 II b/c I have to have the $ for a car coming later this year, but I got the 70-200 f/4 IS instead.


The 17-55 will come soon afterward.


Thanks to all who helped me make this decision. [H]

what? who needs a car when there's fast glass as an option? enjoy the new lens. get some bag-piper music playing in the background for the ceremonial unboxing...or is that just me?

I think you made a very good selection. Those were among the first lenses I bought for my Digital rebel, and served me very well on both Rebel bodies, and later 30D and 40D. I sold my 17-55mm when I sold my 40D, but the 70-200F4 IS works great on my 5D MK II and 1D MK III. A 24-105mm L replaces the 17-55, its also a great lens.


I sold the 17-55mm for about what it cost originally, so it was a good buy.

Thanks. I tried to be practical. Next lens will be an 85 1.8.

My 70-200 f/2.8 is faster than your Mustang!

Good choice - the 70-200mm f/4L IS is a wonderful lens.

Mine's faster than a rocket! 1.5 meters to infinity in about 1 second. [:P]
