Abandon hope all ye who enter this forum...

well I have weakened and the other day I went and got me a 300D and the infamous 70-200 f/4L you folks talked me into lol, still kept my G3 though. All I have to do now is learn how to use it. Any one can press the shutter button but when and where .. well there's the fun I guess in finding out. ... now I want the 1.4x extender.. does it ever end???

Actually, the 70-200/4 is one of the less infamous Canon lenses ... there's still plenty of room for you to spend iven more money

Best regards,
Andy

Nope.

It will later evolve into becoming and Lcaholic and well then you will have to joing the support group. Minimum of 2 L lenses gets you in.

HA! Sounds just like me - 300D, 70-200f/4L, and my 1.4x teleconverter just showed up yesterday.

Don't forget to pick up one of those FANTASTIC and inexpensive 50mm f/1.8 II's!

I see another "L" whore in the making.

LOL well guess you are right ...er is that support group anonymous

Ah, yes, I knew exactly what the problem was as soon as I've read the topic. An early stage of eLitis.

Probably not

You may also want to take a look at one of the extension tubes. Makes the 70-200 f4.0L a nice "macro" lens from 8' out. Of course, you can use it with other lenses as well.

Of course it does end.

I should be perfectly fine and completely satisfied once I'll buy 14, 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 2.8 IS, 85 1.2, 135 2.0, and 100-400

it's still a very long way for me, since I have non of the above

Sure, by then you will be on your 2nd or 3rd camera body.....

in the support group we tell each other new ways to get money for L glass

at the time I joined this forum I had just started on a job.... Now I'm still poor.

But I have a DRebel and 3 lenses, tripod,monopod, printer(getting today), and many more to come. lol
I have forcasted my expenses to be approximately equal to my income for the next year or so. Thankfully, I have a family that feeds me...

After owning a g3 for a year, I decided to move over to a dslr kidding myself that I'd be saving money by using the old lenses from my canon 50E. First purchase was the 10D , then the L got hold and I bought a 17-40L. Then a 50 f1.8 ( big money saving ), but then in a moment of weakness I succumbed to the 100-400L IS - arrgh my wallet is sooo empty
