I finally bought the new lens!

[Robyn]

Well after months of deliberation, I bit the bullet today and purchased a new lens. I bought the Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS. I even had to buy a new camera bag............it wouldn't fit in the old one! :D

[Wendy]

Hi Robyn ...

Look forward to seeing some photos you take with it ... I am sure that you will love it :)

Congratulations, Robyn! I'm sure you're going to love it. I bought the non-IS and I love mine, but I'm sure the IS would make me love it even more.

Congratulations. Do share some of your photos.

I recently also bought that lens. In addition, I had to buy a new camera, canon xtig to go with it. Also, I bought the 1.4x extender. My old camera bad would not do, so a new bag was a must. And there you going down the $$ trail. Will it ever stop. There is alway another lens or filter to buy. I'm going to stop reading camera magazines.

The Canon 70-200IS lens has been written up recently as Canon's best zoom lens and that says allot. In addition to the addition of IS they reworked a whole set of elements making this lens sharper then the 70-200 non IS lens

Can't wait to see some pics Robyn. Mine will be here Friday. I read some wonderful reviews on that lens and can't wait to try it out myself. (see - last week is just a memory now - this is a GOOD week ;) ) :D

Robyn, keep your tripod handy. I love my lens but get best results with the tirpod.

Thanks Kim, Bob & Robyn.

Hey Robyn
Quit scrappin and start shootin, you need a break! You'll sure be glad you did.

No - Sophie's not spoiled rotten at all, really. :rolleyes: :D

[Robyn]

Nancy..............did you shoot that in RAW?

[Chuck S.]

Robyn, keep your tripod handy. I love my lens but get best results with the tripod

BUT....remember the sage advice here (from Lee, I believe) to turn off IS when using the tripod!!

Chuck

[Robyn]

Will do, thanks for the reminder Chuck!

Nope - full auto. Just shot, uploaded and done! I did get out to take some shots today but haven't had time to look at them.

Thanks Kim and Eva. I was very pleased with the results.
