yea right now i spend most of my shots using the 28-70 f/2.8 (yes the 28mm, it's the predecessor to the current 24-70 f/2.8) just for the f/2.8 bokeh. on crop body you really have to try hard to get decent bokeh in the background. the 70-200 spends a lot of time on my 7D when i'm shooting track or autox events and the 17-40 is on the rest of the time. i have 3 lenses that i love to use. the 100-400 probably won't be my "go-to" lens unless i'm just in a certain location where i need a lot of reach but it will be nice to have. i may eventually sell the 7D and get the 5D MkIII when it comes out since it has all the AF and speed of 7D but in FF which is why i didn't get the MkII. the MkII is a fantastic camera but i really needed the 7D AF and image processors for what i do with my camera often. the 5D3 will be a great compromise and now i will have that extra reach if i need it...

I'm in the same mind set as you. I want/need the 7D for what it has that the 5DMKii couldn't offer... hopefully in the next few weeks or so I'll pick one of them up. I want to get rid of my Sigma 24-70 and pick up a Canon one or maybe a nice prime lens.

The first review of the 70-300L that I've seen says it is a wonderful lens, possibly better than the 70-200 f/4 for most people. I already have the regular 70-300 and I can't justify the L for hobby purposes, but it apparently has no distortion which would be amazing.

HKYStormFront · 12-30-2010, 05:11 PM

yea it looks like a really nice lens. if i didn't want a 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II i'd probably want one to replace my 70-200 and now the 100-400. sad thing is i would have extra left over if i sold both of the L lenses i have now (or will soon) and buy the 70-300

HKYStormFront · 02-07-2011, 10:02 AM

got my 100-400 this weekend:

I'm jealous. Nice Glass...

You mentioned going FF....is it worth it to go full frame for your type of work Patrick. Doesn't the "extra" reach, work in your favor on crop sensor cameras? Your basically getting a 640mm reach (35mm equivalent) with your current setup.

HKYStormFront · 02-08-2011, 09:17 AM

yea mike, i had my 5D for a year and a half and i should have never sold it. i will have plenty of reach with the 100-400 on a FF. most track days i've been using my 70-200 and even then feeling "cramped" towards the 70mm end of the lens on my 7D. i do a good mix of track and still shots and for the stills, i REALLY miss full frame. it makes such a huge difference in the bokeh and how i like to frame my images

GTHAUS · 02-09-2011, 02:25 PM

^^^ Great lens! Depending on how much track shooting I do this year I'd like to pick one of those up I think. Hoping to pick up the 7D shortly... been putting it off and putting it off for a while haha.

i may be selling mine later this year to get a 5D3 once they come out. it's "low mileage" in perfect condition, can sell with or without grip (though i will keep my 2nd battery if they work with the MkIII)

GTHAUS · 02-09-2011, 02:35 PM

Selling your 7d? How much you looking to get and how soon/not soon you thinking of moving it? Let me know, I may be interested

- Jeremy

HKYStormFront · 02-09-2011, 02:45 PM

it won't be before the MkIII comes out, probably this fall. and my price will depend on how many clicks i have on it by then. if you haven't gotten one by then i'll be sure to let you know first
