But yeah, I agree, the hummingbird photo isn't a great reference. The TREE is pretty sharp though. Photographers do it in 1/1,000th of a second...but the memory lasts forever!

Most likely because if you have to switch lenses during something, you probubly dont have the time to be fussing with a lens cap or a hood and that I also don't think you can put a filter on the front either. I am in no way going to touch the front glass to see what it feels like but I'm going to take Canon's word for it lol Glass: 8-15 f/4.0L | 16-35 f/2.8LmkII | 24-70 f/2.8L | 70-200 f/2.8L mkII | 100 f/2.8L Macro | 300 f/2.8LmkII
