do not waste your money on L glass

[Michael Long]

Actually, Nikon uses an "ED" designation (extra-low dispersion) on a lot of their expensive glass, Tokina's "PRO" glass is "ATX", and so on...

Obviously you didn't read the post!!!

He said if you are shooting office photo's or photo's of you dog! Not sporting events that require high end gear! He is right. You have a problem with reading. Or a short attention span.

Try to shoot indoor sports with anything but a 2.8 lens. It doesn't
matter whether it's a prime 200/2.8 or a 70-200/2.8 L. You will
find that you really need that kind of glass to get the autofocus
to work when you are photographing basketball or other indoor
sports.

I fully realize that the L lenses are expensive, but the also hold
their value well. I have had mind over 5 years now and I have
little want to change them.

if you are not a pro you will be wasting money on L glass that can
be spent on other things. If you plan on only viewing photos on the
PC/MAC or printing 4x6s of the CAT/DOG office party etc.. you will
not notice any difference between a 24-85 picture and a 24-70L. get
a 28-135 IS it would stay on the 10D and would be the best
investment for a general purpose lens.
