i bought a new lens today! friend of mine emailed me today saying he was putting up two of his lenses for sale. i got the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS for $800!

if anyone is interested, he has the 70-200 f/4 L IS for $800 as well. i can get you in touch. this is from the guy i bought my 5D from, also my mentor in photography, he really did teach me everything i know

I love the 100-400, I definitely want to get one soon for track stuff. I'd recommend the 70-200 to anyone, mine hardly comes off my 40d

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...

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, 06:11 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

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.
