Difficult Decision Story

This thread leaves my head spinning... wowzers.

Maybe Tareq will spring for some aspirin for us all.

By the way, looking at photos from different lenses makes me to dream to own them all.
I like my 100-400L but for fast focus or sharp image i think prime is preferable, i don't say that 100-400 is not sharp but not sharper than most long primes, am i wrong? if so then i don't care to buy one long prime for sharper image even only sharper 1 degree, lol.
zooms are great people but i will say it again for last time, I love Primes and All primes give great results wether it is cheap or expensive. I will think of all your reply, maybe i will not buy anything more later, who knows.
Thank you very much

You are right about that one efendi Tareq.
Just remember who your friends are, I'd never steer you wrong.
Go for the big fish first....the 500, and then let the chips fall where they may.

Imagine the scenes of falconery you can captures with that lens. WoW !

I can change my mind to buy glasses as i don't think i can afford 500 very soon but when i get 1Dmk2N soon coming and buy let's say 135L or even 50L then i can forget about those long pricy primes, and i wait my dad to give me some money so then i can buy 300 f4 or even 400 f5.6 because i know that i saved my money for better fast lenses and if i have to pay by my money saved only then i will think of fast lenses only.

I wish my dad would give me some money for glasses...oh, yeah...he's retired on a fixed income and I make more then him....BUT I CAN DREAM!!!!!

at least your dad not against photography, here all or most of my family are against it.
just gain money yourself and buy by your money.

Wow ! Tareq, I say if you've got it flaunt it. Dont let these other jealous folks sway your dream of helping to raise Canons Stock. If I could own them all I would... The idea of donating some gear to the less fortunate is a good one. With that said, I am in need of all kinds of stuff As far as running away, not me , besides, I use a wheelchair, so even if I did you could catch me Sincerely, Your New Best Friend, Brad

Oh thank you very much.

Tareq, nothing against you personally bro (I could care less if you buy every single thing Canon ever created, it's your money, you are shooting whatever your shooting, if somebody loved photography and had a good eye and was a good photographer and spent all day and night photographing everything, I could see a need for just about any lens), but for the love of GOD please paragraph your posts better and use more grammar. I know I suck in English too and my post probably doesn't look all that great either, but your posts are like an eye sore to read.

BTW, if you give me any L lens, or even a Lens that's not L, I'll be your bestest friend forever. I'm Brian . Right now I am eyeing a nifty fifty, Tamron 28-75 and Canon 70-200L (2.8 or 4, IS or not IS, as long as it's free and working I'm happy.) .

Thank you for your reply.
I am not good in English, I am arabic guy overall.
If you were in my country then you can use all of my gears no problem, i lended some of my gears to some friends because i am not selfish to get everything and help others to try my gears for a while.

at least i was looking if someone can tell me which lens of above i listed should i take. i don't ask to tell me that i have to get them all or not get any, but for sure all or some are great and you can recommended me one or few.

the honest answer is that if you don't know which one to get, you don't need any of them. however, since it is clear that you have to buy one, i would go with the most expensive one and just get it over with. if all you needed was validation, all you had to do was ask

Didn't realise you were not a native English speaker (you'de be surprised, many native english speakers are lazy people who think they can speak as if they were in a pre-teen chat room.) Exscuse my other comment, your english is fine for your circumstances.
