The white shade is too pretty RPCrowe wrote in post #8394879 The problem with your lens is that it is known to be a carrier of a dangerously expensive disease known in photographic circles as, "L-itis" also known as "L-mania". The main symptom of L-itis or L-mania is that the sufferer will no longer accept the results of lesser lenses and wanders through life with an uncontrollable urge to acquire additional "L" lenses. There is no known cure for this disease but, acquiring addition "L" lenses does seem to mitigate the symptoms somewhat; although the side effects on one's wallet can be devastating. I think the next L might have to wait till I go FF. Actually, what do I know-- I'm starting to lust for the 85 1.2L now tnguyen600 wrote in post #8394893 Solution: 0% APR CREDIT CARDS!!! lol No CC for me.
