Mmmm, the way I do it is more because it is easier/lazy than making a wider shot work....
I want to get a 35L or 24L and force myself to learn to shoot wide, not that I would ever be able to do that :lol:

How do I buy them with no money :( lol
Someone should ring them in the week....
Maybe they had a bit of a run in with the river, or something.... If it is still works good, and has decent (no massive scratches) glass at that price, wow.

Dude, go check it out. If it looks legit, I'll buy them both. If you're interested in one (or even both), I could always buy them first and you pay me back later. But a deal like this can't be missed! :p

Ack, stupid school, and not being able to drive :(

I'm not good enough to identify lenses by sight from distance, but I did some CSI...

IMAGE: http://users.on.net/%7Eworlwinds/img/_MG_8380.jpg

Google tells me the ET-138 hood is for the 500 f4/L. So, my guess is that it's a 500 f4/L lying on the ground.

The picture was taken with a 70-200 f2.8, so i don't know what that says about your plugin :p

Edit: I did consider whether I could have leaped over the fence onto the arena, grabbed it and made a bolt for it while the guy was up in the stand behind me shooting events on the field. I decided that since there was a grandstand full of people behind me, someone may notice. The security guards all over the place kinda added to the impression it probably wasn't an option.

Mmmmm, ed can have my 17-40, I can have a 2.8 lens in that range (been wanting that anyways), we can all be a happy family :D
Hmmmmm, 17-40 vs 16-35.....
Something tells me I won't get the 16-35, because then ed would get a 17-40 and the EOS gods prohibit that :lol::p

I thought it was yours (borrowed/rented), hence the posing it by the trashcan...
Haha, check out the exif 200 1.0 :p
