Better read-up on lens reviews on photo.net and photozone.de before buying any big ticket item.

Also, big aperture lenses only command $$$ but their image quality is not guaranteed, not especially at their widest opening.

The 50 1.0L is out of production but eventhough, second hand lenses also not cheap.

i think it's L lenses...i won't go for L lenses with small apertures...coz they are way too costly...f4 is enough for me..for darker situations..i'd use my trusted 430 to compensate...would rather spend more money to get a better camera...30D!!HERE I COME!

well, even its over 100pages, its also for Canon right. and also.

1) "Fanboyism" is prohibited. No Nikon vs Canon wars here.
btw, The 17-40 is THE BEST zoom L lens <----- this is already trolling aka Fanboyism

3) Get you trading needs at Trading Guides, not here!
Jus wanting to know like, what you thingk about them.. are they worth it?? Planning to get a 100-400 sumday.. <----- with the last sentence, i have enuf reason to del this thread. but i choose not to, as I respect everyone, but u seems like looking for troubles more than contributing.

Sorry but I hate fanboyism, and I know ur L lenses rocks, it doesnot means that can troll about it here, the Canon thread is already a closed-one-eye thread and now, u wan another?

thank you for your contribution, this thread will be killed in 24 hour time unless u can tell me what are the advantages of having this thread.
