Is your user defective ? (only lenses allowed to vote)

My Bigmos thinks that I am just compensating for something...

The only lens I've had trouble with - the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 - has been .... dealt with. I hear he has some spiffy new shoes that are gray; kinda like concrete. I also hear his new neighbors - who I think are named Nemo and Shamu - can drink like fi.... can drink a lot! He's been thinking some deep thoughts, and doubt he has any interest in this thread.

I miss the "Both" option .

Kind regards, Wim

I'm a 28-135 and it's all my fault. I'm rubbish, my optics were built down to a cost so I could be an entry level lens with IS. I couldn't take a sharp image if my life depended on it.

Thank you lenses&guys, great posts !
My 24-70L is feeling a bit relieved now, and btw the new owner loves it !!!

100mm Macro IS here...

Yupp, my user is a complete tool! Ever since he bought me he thinks he's some kind of photography super star... Just because my new generation IS is working so well and my IQ is so high he thinks it's all him. I'm the one that's working hard and he's taking all the credit.

Good thing my IS is working that well because he couldn't keep a camera still if his life depended on it!

And now he's hating on his 70-200 again just because he's seen what a "proper" lens like me can actually do. And don't even try to imagine how he's treating his nifty 50 these days!

Speaking of the nifty, he has the audacity to mate it to my front every once in a while! Yupp, he turns the 50mm around and screws it right to my front filter. That's just not right! There should be laws against this! He calls it "extreme macro" I just call it "wrong"! Pffft, the things they allow in California these days... I mean come on, attach me to the new 70-200mm Mark II at least or something, but the nifty?

My user also tries to make me feel bad all the time. "The 300mm is much longer than you" he says. Or "I wish you could do soccer"... Pah! I'm a "Macro" lens for crying out loud not a "soccer" lens. It's right there in the title... Just gets to show what a tool that guy really is.

At least he's figured out I rock at portraits as well! He even had me take some nice shots of his car.

Oh well, he'll come around some day. Thanks for the poll though, finally us lenses are getting heard!

Yes my owner is a bit daft he makes me face the sun and the blames me for all the reflections saying that he should have kept the siggy 12-24mm - it hurts my soul.....

Some of us are ladies of the night; some must needs walk the streets in broad daylight. We live in a Vertex 200, a Japanese-style love hotel. Snug in our tiny apartments, we **** and gripe about the past-their-prime bodies our pimp hooks us up with - the portly but hair-trigger 1D; the rowdy and graceless 20D; and the venerable 5D, now widely disdained as slow and impotent.

We have class. We focus on the job in hand. We have never been to the clinic for treatment, but we are risk-takers, since we use no protection up-front. We are sharp and sassy but, behind it all, some can be persuaded show a softer side. It's just as well, since we all have to endure constant fondling. So degrading and quite unprofessional.

lmao!

Yeah. She's defective but she's a hapless newbie and realises it's the workwoman not her tools.

Glad to see the honest are out-voting the BSers in this poll so far!

my MRE (most repeated error) is AI Servo... I use this mode frequently for sports, and often forget to change it back... then I slap the ST-E2 or flash on the camera for the focust-assist capabilities, and wonder why the red focus-assist lights aren't going, or why it's not 6fps... average time to fix: 20 seconds, but it's coming down!

No, my user has no errors so far. I was brought into this world as a lowly 75-300mm III with no USM (Canon can be so cruel :cry, ready to be shunned and cast out by lens society, but my owner gives me a lot more respect than most people and think I am better than a lot of people give me credit for. Unfortunately I have a bad feeling all this will change when he gets the 100mm f/2.8 macro. But I the upper edge because if he wants over 1:1 magnification, he'll have to resort to using me and Nifty.

Sincerely Canon 75-300mm III

I, too, am a 75-300, I have IS but I cannot autofocus. And my owner tries to use my to shoot indoor basketball on a camera with little ISO in poorly lit gems. He blames me for being being old and slow. But I take great pictures outside, it's not my fault I am past my prime. I fear he will day soon get a 70-200 and trade me for an extender.
