YOUR first L lens?

My first L lens was the 70-200 f4/L. It is a fantastic lens and I still have it. I got it as a gift so I didn't have to sacrifice much to get it, but I still appreciate the build and (cost) of the L lens.

i got the canon 70-200 f/4 (non is), then the 17-40 f/4, and my next is gonna be either the 24L or 35L !!! its a sickness!!

Sickness indeed.

First DSLR (450D), 6 months later : 70-200f4 (non is) and a 580ex2.

ive got GAS. (gear accusition syndrome) Sadly, no cure exists. One method of treatment and it involves LOADS of money: just buy MORE!

Now im eyeing 5dii or hoping for a 1d iv.

Lenses 24-70 2.8 mark 2? (whem it comes out)

&& a ULTRA wide angle (14mm canon prime goodness?)

85mm 1.2L
17-40mm 4L
and perhaps the 24mm that I'm playing with now

My first L was EF 70-200 f4... it was very sharp and light.

I bought my first dSLR in early 2004. I didn't buy an L lens until I upgraded to the 30d in 2006. I think I purchased a 70-200 f4 L around 5 mo's later. Then 4 mo's later a 17-40L. Just this week, I purchased a used 24-70L. Yep, its an addiction. I'm starting to eye primes.

70-200/4

was shopping for a tele that time to be used on a beach trip. was actually aiming for a 55-250 IS of 70-300 IS but got the 70-200/4 on a very good deal.

some shoots i took at that trip

17-40 f/4L
Didn't like it.

Greetings, all...my first post here.

My first L is the 24-105 IS... dropped off by the FedEx guy about an hour ago!

Looking forward to learning a lot here.

Cheers,
G

24-70, bought on Wednesday. Fantastic thing and not too heavy either! Going to have to improve my "skills" to get the best from this!

17-40. Great lense.

Same for me. Picked it up a few months back and I've been pretty much only using this lense since.

Purchased my 5DMII six months ago, after using a 20D. Had some fast lenses before. Just purchased a 35L, my first L lens. It will not be my last. Although, it may be 12 months before I buy my next L, due to cost, and need. The 35L will be on the camera for a few weeks, though, before I put my 85mm or 135mm back on.

70-200 f4L. So great on APSC, it is a bit short on FF. And it's quality was so far better on APSC. My sharpest lens, after the uncategorized 85L

My first L (100-400) came in the B&H box along with my first DSLR (50D) this January so there was no waiting between one and the other.

Added the 70-200 f/4 IS when the recent rebates started.

Like them both along with the 10-22 EF-S.

300 F4L..with a canon 1.4 tc...for birding... I wouldn't want anything else. Easy to use, handle and I can do all without a mono or tri pod, one thing I was looking for when birding/hiking...
