If you're not into taking pics of birds I would go with 135 2.0. It's a superb lens :)

so was it the diopter that was messed up?....that's what i was thinking as well...i'm also amazed you take 90% of your shots with live view...what do you typically shoot?

well, it is that time of year again! X-mas bonus time and i am in toronto!

so it turns out i may have damagethe prism in my 40D from a nice hit, so using the eye piece is blurry but pics come out fine, and i use live view anyways %90 of the time.

what do i own right now...
  • Canon 40D
  • Canon 17-85 IS
  • Canon 60mm Macro (if i can get a good trade in i want a 100mm + 60mm i got to get tooo close)
  • Canon nifty Fifty
  • Canon 430EX

i am looking for a new lense to add to my collection..... but i am unsure, i would like to get a nice telephoto, however i would also like a nice fisheye / wide angle lense....

my 17-85 IS does me well, i know it is not the best! but i do enjoy it, my uncle just got a new Sigma 17-300 lense, and it seems pretty well made and can take some good pics....

Any thoughts? price is not so much an issue but i also dont want to spend my entire bonus. i was considering the Lseries 70-200 for about $1200... but not sure if i need that much quality??

i dont know... help clear my mind!

i am in toronto so prices are CAD.

Sounds like you want something a little wider. I have the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 and like it. The Canon 10-22 is viewed very favorably around here. Sigma makes one also.

For telephoto zoom, you really can't go wrong with any member of the 70-200 family. You will really enjoy the color and contrast, and they're all SHARP.
