You people are killing me.......

Ordered a 70-200 f/4 IS. I used to be able to hold on to money before I got roped in.

Have fun with it! It's a wonderful lens.

Hahaha you won't regret it!

Congrats on new lens! Now your doomed with the rest of us.

Duck shot, please.

box up that kitty in your avatar and RMA it to pay for the lens!

I promise I'll get the duck shot first chance I get!

P.S. The queen cat stays.

Technically, you can now update your signature. Sweet lens, I have the non IS version and I love it. It was my first "L" and I can't seem to get rid of it. I have on occasion needed a 2.8 but I always seem to make this one work out. Have fun and look forward to seeing that duck shot.

My bank account is much healthier when I limit my time on this site.

Agreed! This site always seems to point out exactly which lens you "need". (Where need is all relative to your ability to spend money.)

enjoy... and post some pics once you get that baudy little monkey!!!

Don't ever try an L prime. RUN NOW!

Oh man, I know the feeling. After I picked up this lens, sinking in over 1k+ over a lens?! I had nothing but serious regrets...

about why I didn't buy it earlier

It's a great lens! The resolution is so good you can keep digitally zooming in and zooming in and zooming in until you get to one pixel and it still looks great

Oh one more thing,

After you get the 70-200 f4 IS,

Stay clear of the L lenses for a bit.

Then do yourself a favor and sell your Tamron 17-50 and the 28-135 and 70-300 IS, then get a 17-55 IS 2.8.

It's not an L lens so it's safe to get

I had the Tamron 17-50 before, loved it. But oh man the 17-55 IS is sooo nice. So what makes the Canon sexier? I love the contrast compared to the Tamron, the IS, the quiet and fast focus, I love the build. On my 50D the 17-55, it basically takes up most of the "ice time" (Sorry I'm a hockey nut)
