What was your first L lens and fav pic?

GMCPhotographics · 13th of September 2008 (Sat)

Ok, lets play a new game.

What was your first L lens, and what's your favorite picture using it and why?

I'll go first.
Mine was a 135mm f2.0 l, which I use on my 5D. Here's my fav pic with it:

This was pretty much the first time I used this lens seriously and it was at this point when I realised just how slim the DOF could be. Sometimes for good and sometimes for worse!

Regards,

Mine was a Canon 70-200 f/4L!

70-200mm f/4L

My favorite pic with it? Tough to say, but I'll go with this for now.

My first L was the 70-200mm f/4.

This is one of my favorite pics with it:

70-200 2.8L IS

maybe not my best pic, but shows what the lens is capable of.

Shot wide open in the middle of the day to throw out the background, which also got me some fast shutter speeds.

I bought a 24-105 f/4 IS L and a 70-200 f/4 L at the same time.

Well, I only just go my first L today. Here is my day in pictures: 70-200 f/2.8 L IS

70-200 F4 sitting on my 10D.

Not my sharpest shots but some of my favorites.

Like the OP, the 135L was my first.

I'm not sure what my favorite or best photo is with the lens, but I like this one. It was my first time shooting a concert with the 5D/135L combo.

My first was the 17-40. Gotta wait for a picture though.
Not a great picture but it is one of my son and myself so I like it

My second was the 70-200/4.

70-200 f/2.8 IS , and this one sticks out in my mind:

20d
ISO 3200
f/2.8

My first L lens is the 400 5.6L. And why i love the focal length and its sharp. Red wolf Roanoke VA Zoo. Sean .L
