QUOTE(ianho @ Nov 22 2009, 01:05 PM) Most ppl buy 17-40 f4L or 70-200 f4L as their 1st L lens coz both r the cheapest. iish. but the 17-40 ain't enough for me, perhaps. 70-200 is a better choice, but is it worth it to get f/2.8L IS? |

Iish. The f/2.8 IS is really expensive, but i REALLY dont feel like upgrading after getting the f/4 IS, and to also experience what Uncle ianho experienced.
Anyway, is it okay to get a copy of the lens from bhphotovideo.com? is the warranty going to be international or us only? The price is really cheaper as compared to local sets.  |

QUOTE(kapalterbang_737 @ Nov 22 2009, 05:07 PM) I've upgrade my tele lens from EF-S 55-250 IS to 70-200 f4 IS and recently 70-200 f2.8 IS. If u have the moolah, just take the 70-200 f2.8 IS. I love every bit of this lens. Quite regret didn't bought it at the first place because i lost money when upgrade from time to time. The only drawback was i wish it wight just like the f4 IS.. I think i really have to test it out before i buy that beast == Anyone's willing to lend it to me for a day? Argh, still the same question, anyone of you out there ever bought lenses online from the US, and shipped to your doorstep? |

I have but it was just cheap lenses for my Sony Alpha. I certainly won't b buying rm7-8k lenses online man. Though the US merchants r very reliable n do refunds n exchanges willingly, the postage is gonna kill u.  |
