Well spotted! I thought it was pond weed, but what do I know. Are you an expert on goose droppings? ha ha

only joking, I really did think it was weed and added a sort of ambiance, how wrong can you be!

Everybody has to be good at something...

Soon i will do tests, just be patient
you asked me about 1D? which one, 1DN or 1Ds2?
Both are great and i kicked those 5D and 30D and xt in the bags, only showing 1-series the top of both worlds, one with white lens with red line on, and the other one with black glass with red line on.

I am in a quandry as to whether to go with a 70-200 f/4 IS or a 70-200 f/2.8 NON IS.....HELP ME DECIDE NOW..I need to make up my mind in the next 30 minutes!!!!!!

Easy. Get the f/4 IS. It's weather-sealed, weighs less [a plus for most people], has a fantastic image stabiliser, and has superior image quality. It will hold its resale value better, though I doubt many will get rid of it.

Thats the one...Im off to the shop RIGHT NOW.....back in 30 minutes!! (Hopefully with an f/4 IS tucked under my arm)!!!!

The only reason I got the f/4 IS over the f/2.8 was the weight. But I'am highly pleased with the f/4 IS. The IQ is excellent and that 4-stop IS is immensely effective. I find myself constantly able to take blur-free shots at shutter speeds as low as 1/13th second at 200mm.

Such a show off now- Have you sold all but the 1's now? I am in the market for a 5d but i want to see what canon have planned this year, hopefully all will become clear soon.

That new f4 70-200mm knocks spots off the 2.8mm. It is just so sharp with brilliant contrast. To my eyes that 2.8 is not the best at that aperture - I would not choose to use it at that f stop. Consider it was designed years ago and technology has improved radically. QC on the 2.8 also seems to be a problem.

Canon has a winner in this new f4. If you have ever shot with a 70-200m 2.8 for an hour solid you will know what I mean about the weight of that lens. It is just too heavy for comfort (and I find the 24-70mm light!)

Im back! 70-200 f/4 IS in hand........took a few shots and so far I am impressed.

Took some shots of things I took photos of with the 70-300 IS and compared them..the 20-200 f/4 IS..is waaay better and sharper!

Thats it for me for now..2 lenses in the bag (Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and the Canon 70-200 f/4 L IS)...next purchase will be a 1.4X converter and a tripod ring!
