1HotA32 · 02-18-2010, 12:25 AM

decided i wanted to go ahead and spend the money on a good lens that would last me a long while so i went with the cannon 70-200 2.8L...

im super excited about gettin it in..

NICE!!! Did you get the non-IS, IS or IS II version?

You'll be spoiled now, and not willing to put with zoom lenses that aren't a fast constant aperture. Don't say I didn't warn you!

berry nice. I love my 70-200 (though I opted for the f/4 IS version).

BillLee · 02-18-2010, 04:01 PM

Very good lens choice bro, and it must look huge on that rebel

. I have the f/4 L version and I love it... will get the 2.8 someday.
