Ok lah... I guess.
Must come up with some reasons to sell lor.
If I were to sell, maybe I would say: "L lenses too heavy for my 40D and for my fingers..."...

I think he meant he will only use L lens with my 5D MK II.

My camera also only works with L lens....can't make myself see through a non-L.

i will keep the sigma 12-24 as my fav lens until they make 12-24 L

thanks, it works.

i guess my camera can't really tell the difference between l lens and non l lens in terms of the sizes i want out of it.

best part is, most people can't to, they just chase the red rubber band.

If cannot work, the "L" might just get another meaning, as in LL.

Same. No USM, focusing is really slow.

its not fair to say like that la.

like most L lenses provide the range or aperture that 'normal' lenses don't provide. and if you need (very subjective, yes) what they can provide, then there is little choice, is there?

well, of course.

anyways, i doubt more than half of L lens users really need a L lens.

it is nothing wrong to have money to buy what you want, i guess, but fact remains fact.

I suspect it is painted with some upmarket premium red pigment ink. i fell for the marketting hype now i inspect my lenses regularly to make sure the red ring is intact.

you better not let me near your lenses then..

i have a bottle of liquid paper in my pocket just for the occasion that arises when i get to paint the red ring white.

then walk off hearing the screams of anguish from the ex-l lens owner.
