Woohoo! Got a new lens for my camera!

[Impact]

Congrats on the new toy/accessory. Photography is a very expensive hobby, I use to have a Canon Rebel XT w/ a Tamron lens. Needless to say I gave up photography to pursue scuba and class III

Awesome!

I have a Sigma 70-300mm for my Canon T1i and it's fun to shoot longer distances. I've rounded it out on the end of the spectrum with a Sigma 10-20mm for some cool ass wide angle stuff too.

I got to shoot some pictures with my buddies DSLR while we were flying american flags over the palace. It was so fun and makes me want to buy one to play with. I am looking at getting a Canon EOS 50D

So I keep telling myself I need the 70-200 2.8 L.

The 70-200 2.8 IS L is a workhorse for me. I can't think of any lens that could replace it, but you are correct, its not a cheap lens.

The 70-200 2.8 IS L and the 17-40 F4L are my two favorite lenses. I use those two set ups to shoot about 90 percent of my photos.



Everyone else.
My 4 year old 28-135 IS USM has more clicks through it than I can remember. It was my very first lens. I had to send it back for a Err 99 issue once about a year ago after some HARD use. Hopefully Canon hasn't cut corners on it since its now a "kit" lens.

Congrats on the new lens. The next telephoto lens I am aiming for is the 100-400 L with IS for airshows!

I use to shoot a Canon 35mm SLR and my all time favorite lens for that camera was a 70-210mm Macro Zoom. I loved the versatility this lens offered for close up to distance. I also had a 100-300mm Telephoto that just never did get much camera time.
Have fun with your new toy.

Is anyone running a Polarizing filter on their lens? I bought one to play with to see what it would do (or not do).

Below are two pics I took. I cannot really tell too much of a difference.

I'll have one someday, it's just a bit down on the list. And though I've never used one, I have a feeling it is, for the most part, worth the money.

Thanks.

Something I found interesting is that there were two options for the lense I bought. You could get one made in the US or one made overseas. The US one was more money.

Mine was made in Japan.
