Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM NEW - As much as I loved the 70-200L, how could I resist the extra 100mm reach? Could this replace my own mid-range 70-300? |

Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS Replacing review of non-IS version (includes Bald Eagle sequence) |
|||||||||
 |
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS Four weeks with this one, the finest rental so far! |
|||||||||
 |
Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Test failed. With a two-week rental, not one usable photo from this lens. Without IS, this demands a sturdy tripod. I may try this again, as the idea of a 400mm prime is surely appealing... |

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Tried it out, and had to buy one . An incredible performer for the price, and who doesn't love extreme close-ups? |
|||||||||
 |
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II When I bought the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 IS USM, I threw this one in the order. For less than $80.00, this little lens earns "best bang for the buck," easily. |

 |
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM My new walkabout lens, arrived 2/14/08. Just a beautiful wide-angle zoom, with never a bad result. See SimpleViewer slideshows below... |
|||||||||
 |
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM It occurs to me that I've never put together a review of this early purchase. I sometimes take it for granted. Nothing spectacular, but a good all-around performer. This seems to be everyone's first choice for a telephoto zoom lens, and it may be a direct gateway drug to the 70-200 L series. See several examples, linked to unretouched images direct from the camera. |
