Dante, you will regret selling those zooms. And when you do, just look up Ronald, he'll probably be selling his.:)

nah...I hadn't yet used the 24-70L on FF when I got my 5D, but now that I have, I'm keeping it. I've never even considered selling the 70-200L IS. It's too much of a gem.

Speaking as a 400 owner, I respectfully disagree.

You really need them both! :cool:

Congrats on the purchase. It is one sweet piece of glass. Lightning fast AF and sharp baby sharp.

Two weeks, not two days, but thanks. I just like to know my options. I had no intention of trading it. Besides...even if I had wanted to trade, I've not yet lost money on a trade.

Don't worry...bashing me is allowed. It's the other way around that's not permitted. Look around...rude remarks made at me in various threads, but no responses.

They were there..;-)a

Because the 70-200 f/2.8 has a physical aperture of 71 mm; the 300 has a physical diameter of 107 mm. That means more than twice as much glass in just one element to pour, shape and polish.

Do you know Jon I got quite excited when I read that...:lol:

Dante..

May I congratulate you on buying one of Canon's finest lenses..;)

It is quite remarkable the images produced from this lens..:)

From the common goose.....
