i got my IS one week after i got the 24-70 (geez did that hurt on the pockets!!), on the 16/05/06, so a little over 2 months ago, does that still count?

Wow, looking at this thread, canon have made a crap load of money already from the people who have replied to this thread.

So now a question to you fellow 70-200 users, do you ever get the feeling that you attract so much attention to yourself when shooting with the 70-200? Especially the f2.8 with the hood on?

I can't believe the looks i get and the comments i get once i put that thing on the camera, its bad enough shooting with the 24-70 and hood 90% of the time, once you put its big brother in... omg its another story.

The "What's the zoom on that thing?" question has definately doubled since I got this lens. Yes.

Today was like Xmas for me. First at work FedEx brought my 70-200 f/4, then I get home and the 50mm 1.8 is waiting for me. Then 10 minutes later UPS drops of the 28-135 IS.

Boy, you ain't kiddin', either. I was down the block at the time... I'd have to go back to my Navy days to hear language anywhere close to that. There should be laws...

Hehe nobody have asked me about that. Not even since I got the 1d MKIIN :lol: But I do "feel" the looks sometimes when shooting.

Ordered and paid for my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS yesterday... now comes the waiting in anticipation. This is my first "L" lens, so you can imagine how excited I am.

I almost qualify.
I got a 200mm f2.8L MK I recently.
Second hand, for a friend, cheap

It's tiny compared to the 70-200 2.8L

But man it goes for a lens that's over 10 years old
