Awesome. I am still hesitant to send my lens to Canon Philippines to have it done. No one here has had their lens upgraded.

Way to steal the thread Lisa. Sweet jesus, these are breath-taking.

Great shots everyone! idsurfer if you set your goals you can do anything. I never thought I would own one either.

Well said! I dreamed of owning the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS 7 years ago (before the II even existed). I just went out and purchased the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II, paid full in cash. If you believe, you can achieve. Aim high. You might surprise yourself.

I guess from my standpoint, while this would be a dream lens, I can say with full confidence, I will never be able to drop $6000 in one shot on any SINGLE hobby. Sure, over time I could save up, but that kind of cash can go a long way when put toward other things. I think about it like this for example:

1. new kayak- $1000
2. new drysuit- $1000
3. new backcountry ski set up- $1000
4. maybe 85L- $1400
5. Super sweet family vacation- everything left over
...and this is being selfish, I should consider the wife and kids...

Now, If I had a little portrait gig on the side (which is very much a reality) I might justify investing to test the waters, then sell down the road if necessary. But I can't do it just to snap shots of my day to day living. So, in the meantime I'll just fantasize and enjoy the shots posted here!!

Recently got mine fixed after it dropped off my camera mount twice

Some recent shots!

I really like #1 & 2 smorter...

Number two is what I am talking about smorter! Is this a single image? Very very nice!
