As the title suggests ;), finally got my first L lens! :D

Bought the EF 70-200mm f2.8L off Ebay 2nd hand (5 months old). This lens is beautiful! The sexy beige colour does it for me hehe... though she's a bit heavy coming in at 1.3kg :eek:

Didn't get much snap time but managed to fire some shots off before dark:

From my little pond:

Thanks for looking!

Another happy L fanboy,

Time to change your signature :)

Amazing detail in the cropped bird pic.

It's definitely an awesome lens.

Congratulations on a great lens!!! I love mine! If you want more reach, you might consider getting the 1.4x Converter, it works a treat on mine.
