How many Canon EF brand lenses do you currently own? In my case 5 How many 3rd party Canon mount lenses do you currently own? In my case 1 Do you plan on purchasing any 3rd party lenses in the near...

Hey let him be happy with his new toy :)

Price? Condition?

I tend to take as many lenses as I can when on trips. That doesn't mean that I carry all of them around all day. I try to rent rooms that have safes, and leave the ones I'm not carrying in the safe...

Very nice photos.

Those are all very nice pics.

It's Saturday afternoon and I have time to kill. You spelled the city wrong. You even took the time to try to hyperlink it wrong.  Canon.com charges tax in all states that collect a state tax on...

Thus my reply......   I wanted to lay it out, so that no "big hear-ted person would fall for it.

That may help you get someone to help "however" you still did not say which country you are in. A few other things to consider are: 1.  A Amazon gift card is not the same as a person using their...

I have to ask why not buy it from Amazon? You don't say where you are located, what you intend to buy, when you intend to pay the person that does you this "big" favor. And the big question is why...

I'm sure that everyone realizes that this thread is from 2010.

I do agree.

I find it amazing that this thread is still around.  There is something about every product that "someone" isn't going to like.  Cameras are the same in that respect.  I buy whatever works for me,...

If you still need, PM me and I will send you the disc.

It looks very normal.  Now take a picture of something interesting and not necessarily wide open, and prepare to be amazed at the quality for the price.

That comment leaves a lot of wiggle room.  I'm guessing that if the OP is requesting comments on photos taken by one of those mid level Canon DSLR cameras, that all is good. I've learned to just...

The 70-300 has the new IS system.  When mounted on a tripod, it knows that the camera isn't shaking and disables the IS.  Soooo if you are steadier than the tripod, it will turn off...

A great lens in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, made for a great picture.
