RonaldS.Jr. Prodigal "Brick" Layer  More info | Aug 30, 2006 21:47 | #91 You know, dude...I hate to admit it, but if I were you, I'd sell the 17-40, the 135L, and the 70-300 DO IS. Put a bit of money with it, and boom. 300 2.8 L IS. Fun, huh? It'd spank the other lenses for IQ, and it'd be a hell of a lot more fun to use. Mac users swear by their computers.

If I live long enough, they will come out with a 500 and 600 2.8. I can just sense it. Dante

RonaldS.Jr. Prodigal "Brick" Layer More info | Aug 30, 2006 21:53 | #94 Would you still use the 300 with TC's to get the reach, considering the "base" of it is still 2.8? Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at theirs.

I am really surprised at Dante, selling off perhaps the holy trinity of zooms. He should have just raised the price of his cheeseburger, cut the amount of meat in it, and he would have had the dough for the lens in no time, without selling off any. Dude, no!!! I plan to eat one of those soon, enough. Don't want to become any more poor of a college student, because of food! Go UCLA

Anything to validate a purchase.  However, I almost take offense to seeing the 70-200L IS 24-70L and 16-35L called "compromise" lenses. They're no compromise. They're the best of the best.Now you should not talk Sony A7R3 & A7R4

The proof is in the pudding, right here. mark absolutely right. I was browsing a landscape book in the bookshop the other day and everything was shot on a 80-200 lens!!!! Yeah, it was a film camera but still nowhere even as wide as my 28-75 Tamron. Canon 7D , Canon 6D, 100-400 L, 24-105 F4 L, 50 F1.4, Tokina 12-24 F4, Kenko Teleplus Pro DG 1.4X Extender
