OMFG(not another 70-200 IS 2 thread)

So today was my college graduation. Before the ceremony I giftedy father a canon FTb with 50mm f1.8, identical to the one he had on college that both him and mother have fond memories of and with. Along with a stack of black and white prints on the dinning room table. Then, after the commencement ceremony I went to have some beers with one of my best firends on the swim team.

Then went to dinner with the parents. I got up to go pay for drinks for my father and my self( as I was already pretty toasty) and there is a wrapped up box on my chair.


I just got a new 70-200 f2.8 IS2. I was totally shocked and speechless(I couldn't even manage an intoxicated reply). Finally I managed a 'thank you.'


OMFG a 70-200mm IS2!!!!!!!


The stuff dreams are made of!!!

my parents also were going to get me a 70-200 mk2 for my graduation as i had asked for it. but it was just too much to ask i realized and they gifted me with a lovely f4 IS. enjoy the lens!

Firstly, congrats on the graduation. And secondly, nice score on the 70-200.

Congratz on Graduation and The lens

Either the 4f IS or the f2.8 IS MK II would make a great gift. Both are outstanding. Congrats to the grads!

Congrats for you and myself!
I got my TS for passing those bloody test. Glad that we'll never study the subject we hate (history, physics, chemistry) anymore.

Congrats on the new lens, graduation and having parents who are obviously very proud of you.
