OMG! G0t lens?

Dee · 26-03-2008, 11:54

I have a new toy, on loan atm the mo from my lovely friend Canon Bob over at TP

Its mine until August, however if I decide I want to keep it, its mine for a mere £240

The thing weighs a sodding tonne, and the lens hood is bigger than my head

LOL. I don't think whoever coined the 'hoody' term had that idea in mind.

Nice piece of kit. Enjoy.

Nice

At that price BUY IT!

Dr. Z · 26-03-2008, 15:13

I still miss mine now

Fantastic fantastic lens, really for that price you should just do it, no questions asked.

/me wants one again

IIRC he said you could pay it off in installments too? If so, DO IT! I was going to get one of these last month with my bonus, but other things got in the way. Fantastic lens that you will not regret buying

Dee · 26-03-2008, 16:46

Yep, installments too! Such a nice bloke!

Durz, didnt you sell yours to Pebs? If that was yours, I had a play with it last time we were down there

No fnar intended

I've got one of them on loan as well at the moment. Can't really fault the quality of it, but it just doesn't have enough reach for me on a full frame body

F/4 isn't great for low light either. I really want the 2.8 version, but it's a lot more expensive.

For that price though I'd bite his arm off

Yes, yes I did

Starscream, low light you say?

petemc · 30-03-2008, 10:08

I'd still go for the f/2.8

Theres "low light" and theres low light which I was shooting in the other day. I was limited to f/2.8 and couldn't get sharp enough shots.
