Default 70-200 L IS does a 'banana split'...ouch!

Wanna see how the inside of the 70-200 L IS look like?

Feel sorry for the poor fella whose lens was broken. Moral of the story? Your L lens might not be as "indestructible" as you think it is.

I thought the moral of the story is, Garion will be getting a 70-200L f/2.8 IS himself?

Ouchies for that owner.

And yes, Garion should get the 70-200L f/2.8 IS, and the 400L f/4 IS or f/2.8 IS.

Like one of the guys mentioned in his thread, now he has 2 prime lens - a 70mm prime and a 200mm prime!
What a clown that guy is but I feel pain for the owner of the lens. Now I got to make sure I'm really careful with mine. Probably got to wrap it up with gaffer tape and bubble wrap to make sure this doesn't happen to me.
