Just ordered my EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM

Alright! Stepping up to a better glass!

It's my FIRST "L" saved a couple hundred dollars by ordering factory refurbished - never thought about it until I stumbled onto a link for REFURBISHED.

Thought I was going to have to wait a few more day to afford it new!

I feel like George Jefferson

........ movin' on up ........

It took a lot of research to do this jump!

now you have better glass, get some better images and dont forget to include a duck shot! its a must in this forum

tried to get a shot when I was ducking ...

MISSED IT!

bad aim!

This same lens I bought as my first L too! SUCH a fun lens!!! How much did you pay?

did you order from adorama?

Congrajubilations...yo​u will love her with a very stable personality.

I am going to order it in a couple of weeks, early December most likely.
Can't wait, I am counting down hours..

Congratulations and enjoy, that is one fine peace of glass!

congrats on the new lens . care to share where'd you bought it ? is it online ?

It will be my next lens. Maybe if christmas is good too me, I'll get one before new year.

Congrats on the awesome lens

It is the lens I covet more than any other. Congratulations.

I am so excited - hopefully it will be here tomorrow!
I got it from Adorama for about $1,400.00 factory refurbished.
Also sent a bit more to get it second day UPS air.
My wife said if I wait for a few days I could just go ahead and buy a new one but I figured if it was refurbished by the factory it will probably work perfect! I hope ...

I am still waiting for my new laptop to get back with it's replacement screen.
Thank goodness (I think) I spent the $500.00 for the 3 year service plan! It's got my CS2 on it!
Boy! am I lost with out that computer!

Since this is such a popular lens, what would be a comparable "L" macro lens for shooting bugs, lizards, and flora?

I am going to push my luck for the end of December or earliy January to get one of those

The only L macro is the 180.

Oh, congrats on the new lens

I'm thinking of selling my Sigma and my 200 prime to get this.
