Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 Pocket Rocket

[gkarris]

Got this to see how it would work out with Aviation.

Great lens for the price (I paid $74 shipped in Excellent condition with the caps). Very compact! Works great on a cropped body.

Used an old Rebel XT.

Used for Transportation. Did take a pic of the DHL truck next door (has an interesting paint scheme and the pic came out nice and contrasty). Great lens for the pice and nice size for carrying a "compact kit". Nice and fast USM

I ended up getting the 55-250 IS as I do a lot of low-light photography so the IS is essential. Keeping the 80-200 anyways as a backup.
