This is from working at that house. I'm allergic to evergreen trees, so working in an environment filled with sawdust is really not good for me.

oh, i did not know that kind of allergy

What's wrong with that telephoto... LOL... (except that I hate it)... What should I "downgrade" to LOL

Yeah... You can downgrade to pinhole lens LOL...
Should i go 70-200

70-200 any of the IS versions, the 2.8 preferred, if a 15 yr old kid can buy one a doctor should be able to swing it

Hey it took quite a few lawns. I think the 70-200 f/4 is or if going cheaper the 55-250 is not bad eatheir. Don't know your price range. So 300-800

Yeah. I'm allergic to weird things. Breathing the stuff gives me the typical stuffed up sinus crap, but meds don't work well. Touching it gives me a rash, but that goes away after I take a shower.

Well... you have a few options...

1. El Cheapo EF-S 55-250 IS
Pros: Low price, decent IQ, super small and light
Cons: No USM, f4-5.6?

2. EF 70-200 f4 IS
Pros: Excellent IQ, USM, kinda small and light
Cons: F4

3. Sigma 70-200 f2.8 OS HSM
Pros: Great IQ, HSM, f2.8
Cons: Sigma (not really a con for me), heavier lens

4. EF 70-200 f2.8 IS II
Pros: No compromises, the best
Cons: Big price, heavier lens

The 55-250 IS is about $200-$250 USD here.
Both the 70-200 f4 and the Sigma are around $1,300 USD.
The 70-200 f2.8 IS II is around $2,500 USD new... it's a big boy

There is also the Canon 70-300L... it is suppose to have excellent IQ, but the variable aperture, weight, and $1,600 price tag kinda turns me off.

I do love the smell of lumber. I really love the smell of pine too, it just doesn't love me.

Yup but starting with the 350 Z series it was merged as a baby brother of sorts in the states.

I purposely left the infinity g series off my talk. That's a skyline by name only. We know that it's nothing like the original. It took until the GTR to have a true successor to the R34

Ah ok here in NZ the 350Z isnt marketed as anything to do with the GTR/Skyline family, it was pushed as continuing the linage of the Z car family.

The V35 Skyline/Infinity G was sold here under the Skyline name (most of our cars are JDM models) and you must admit there as much a Skyline as the GTR is, people use the whole "its not a straight 6 so its not a Skyline" argument a bit online but they seem to be forgetting/not knowing that many Skyline models were not even 6 cylinder cars at all (it wasn't until the 5th gen S54 that there was even a 6 offered, but some people don't even seem to know there was a Skyline before the R31 or 32 :confused

bolded my recommendation and added another con to the 70-200 OS...The MFD on it is pretty eh

It is certainly better than the 75-300

I think Tamron has one thats pretty decent as well, not really sure about it myself, never tried it.

I'd get this instead:

$400 and from everything i've seen its a winner

I saw a guy compare it to the 100-400, I mocked the idea at first but the Tamron actually comes shockingly close to it...

There has always been Skylines and Skyline GT-R, but the new GT-R isn't built on the same platform as the current Skylines to my knowledge. Are the new 370Z and G37's built on the same platform?

Thats amazing then, the 100-400 I've tested are great!

An even better comparison as the bodies evolved:

R34 STILL THE BEST ONE!

C10 STILL THE BEST ONE!
