BLEITH1965 Senior Member  465 posts Likes: 7 Joined Feb 2007 More info | Feb 06, 2009 18:00 | #1 I bought a new CANON 70 200L IS 2.8 and had it for four months without ever using it so I sold it and got a nice CANON 70 210 3.5 4.5 in like new condition with no dust showing up inside and tight with no zoom creep in original box. To go along with my Canon 5D 24 70L 2.8 walk around lens. For someone who takes very few pictures did I make the right choice?

What did you buy the lens to do, and why did you end up not using/needing it for that purpose? My personal stuff:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jngirbach/sets/

I buy things to have the latest and greatest but never use half of what I buy. I did take a $200.00 loss on reselling the lens.

What does it mean pocketed here ? Did you get 200 2.8 for free ?
