Stunning work Trainboy...you have put some 100-400L faith back into me. I chose a 400 f5.6L over the zoom, but after seeing a shot like this it makes me wonder if I did the right thing.

It's a beauty of a lens, it really is - But the focus is soooooo slooooow!
dou_b_14: That hurts my brain.

My first L glass was my 28-300L and 100-400L and I got them at the same time, because of my specialty of photography, I need papparrazi lenses (no I'm not Papparazi!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!)

I intend on getting a very nice midrange L when I research it, a 70-200 f/2.8 IS and Canon 10-22 - But that's another story. hehe....

My first L was 70-200/2.8 (non-IS), which I still use a lot. As my style has moved towards desaturated and rather dark images (both done in PP like those below), the colours are not too important for me, but I like the versatility and sharpness of the lens as well as the shallow DOF available through large apertures (I typically shoot at 2.8 to 3.2). And of course the colours are good with this lens, if you prefer that.

I love these shots!!

The second image doesnt happen to be of a street performer from Florence Italy does it? .... Duomo area close to where they filmed the patzi scene from hannibul?

First love was the 70-200 f/2.8. Here is one from the Renaissance Fair this past August.

Edit: Oh, and this was taken with the 1.4 TC on.

100%, 100% and 100% 70-400 F4L IS, its the BEST thing canon has ever done. Check any test you want, its even sharper than the 2.8 version and its even sharper than some equal primes according to a test site. I have used it a lot since Ive bought it and it suprises me how good it is. ITs sharp throughout the zoom range, throughout the aperture range and throughout the coverage (center, corners and extreme corners)...It must be one of the few lenses on earth that is 5 star optical quality, 5 star build quality AND 5 star value/price. You won't regret.

Now if it was f2.8 it'd be perfect.
