Canon EF 200mm f/1.8L

Hopefully.. I'll take better pics WITH it than I took OF it...

Nice lens! :)

[Boosting1Bar]

Awesome. I'm jealous.

Congrats CDS. When's your next photo op at the theater? Give it a workout!

Congratulations, CDS. You have now officially attained 'God' status.

Was that an eBay buy form overseas? I see there's a guy on eBay that sells them all the time from Korea or somewhere... what a cool lens. I WILL have one some day.

Let the record show.. this is the FIRST and ONLY time I have posted images of "gear"

I suppose that being the case I should have taken the time to do something a little better

Anyway.. yes.. there is a Ballet in October.. shortly after our trip to Cape May.

First I was shocked that it was not as large as I thought. (photos just make it look like a huge "L" telephoto... I mean I new it would be smaller than a 500mm..)

Then.. I was shocked out how FREAKEN HEAVY it is!

I don't think I can hand hold this at all...

Well,. we shall see how things go.. monopod or not. :)

[CyberDyneSystems]

Adam.. no I got it from a member on Fred Miranda's forum.

[Belmondo]

Perhaps we'll be seeing some test shots pretty soon?

[CyberDyneSystems]

I will certainly give it a workout this weekend..

Can't wait to try it out! But shooting stuff hanging on the wall just doesn't produce anything worth looking at.

[Adam Hicks]

I hear in Av at 1.8 the thing makes images look like they're absolutely 3D. I'm excited to see some images too. I'm guessing the DOF must be razor thin at that point if used in any lit conditions at 1.8?

We'll wait patiently!

This is envy

............I was wondering when you're gonna make the grand announcement.......... :D

...........Not even a cat picture??

Either CDS found a train set in the basement, or, he's actually a pseudonym for another user who owns at least one (and sometimes two) of everything..

Has anyone ever seen a picture of CDS and Belmondo in the same frame???? ah HA! I didn't think so! :wink:

Wow... why does that thing cost so much? Nice lens too. I'm still saving up for a 70-200 f/2.8L IS

[cmM]

CDS, congratulations. Looks like your wait has finally paid off.

Now I wanna see some cool balet shots.

[Mark Kemp]

Do the astronomers at Mount Palomar know its missing yet?

Shhhh...

[JZaun]

CDS has a new camera and new lense since yesterday and not a picture posted yet? Somethings wrong! :D :D :D

Now we wanna know WHY?

[CyberDyneSystems]

I don't have time to post... to busy playing :)

[Shakespeare]

Please forgive my ignorance, as I can't find this lens on the Canon site...but why is this such an incredible lens/how much does it cost/is it out of production/what will it primarily be used for?

Thx!

This lens has been discontinued... for some reason. It seems to be very popular. Very difficult to find.

CDS, how long did it take you to find a 200mm 1.8?

[CyberDyneSystems]

Two years because I was looking for a "bargain",...

...never found one so I finally caved and paid "the going rate" ... too bad.. the price has only gone up!

[Jay Todd]

KEH had one listed today: BGN w/caps, hood and case...already gone.

[Cobra351]

So, you're saying this lens is somehow better than my 18-55 Kit Lens?!

Congrats, looking forward to seeing some pictures through it.

It's not popular for the price.

[nosquare2003]

God CDS, looking forward for your test shots. Ballets?

[PekkaM]

How much do those things go for?

[BearSummer]

Hi CDS,

welcome to the club. Glad that you managed to find one

all the best

[MDJAK]

So do you miss the 200 1.8? I just sold my 200 f2 and I miss it.
