I like that 300f/4 non-IS even better than the 300 f/4 IS....so I'll have both.
Besides, that's mah main FL.

So, you two Frodo's go ahead and seek self-pleasure and self-indulgence in your fast glass, see if I care.

Oh, we know you care.

In fact, we know you care so much, you've been shining shoes, taking in laundry, detailing cars, all to save up enough money to buy yourself some fast glass too.

hehehehehe

Do you really need both? I would be glad to borrow one from you .

(okay, obviously I'm getting annoying, so I apologize.)

That's patently false ! I might have done those jobs while I had my business, but since I've retired my only source of regular income has been Sat/Sun paper delivery in my neighbourhood.

Any lenses you don't need or get enough use out of? Perhaps non L even? .

Jagger, I think your missing the key word in the title "lens Collector"

There has to be one not so precious lens that he doesn't want or need as part of his collection.

I say he dumps all NON L and just goes and collects all L. And I'll be the one who takes the non L. LOL.

*Dreams.* Hehe.

Imagine what you could do WITH IS if you have such steady hands.

Petkal, do you have some pics taking with the 300 non IS.

Thanks

The first four pictures posted in this thread were taken with the EF 300 f/4.0L USM (non-IS).

What is that car? It looks like some sportsy italian futuristic car. I realise I'm fromt he new generation, but I have no idea what that is and am curious.

It's a Ford. More accurately, it's modern replica of a Shelby Daytona coupe made for made for racing at Lemans 40+ years ago.

Yes sometimes you can get some amazing shots by handholding.
Its certainly possible and surprizing all at the same time.
It all depends ones quality of their physical day.

Looks more like the kind of thing some tubby guy makes in his garage from a kit while his too thin and highly strung wife weeps alone over the laundry.

As to JagWire begging for a crumb of a lens ... man, even I am getting embarrassed and that takes a lot. Anyway, I have already been promised the 24-70mm L aka the 'rubber brick' in his will, so get in line kid
