the 70-200f4L is one of the best L lens ever made from canon . Its compact size + sharp glass + USM which give u quiet and high speed focus is a really good choice for a 70-200 lens on a compact body like yr 350D , a well balance choice :thumbsup:

oh ya bro btw pls remind me to bring you a very good classic book on all canon top notch lens lineup as well as it explain how they will build and function !

Thanks for your recommendation, your experiences help short cut many of my learning processes. I have another offer; 3 years old, mint condition at $960 against a new one at $1150 wif warranty, which one will you folks pick, save the $200 to get another lens 50mm f1.8 or one go at the brand new zoom ... really hard choice when one has little extra $$$
Whatz ur take?

Really nice to share ur precious book wif me, once I have digested pages will return them, omg I think my life has taken a turn since joining CS, other things are taking second prority in life, swim, jog, blade ... etc is that the pattern for everyone when starting out, slowly beginning to understand how some empires built to be over 5 figures!

from my instructor, for canon lenses, is better to buy 1st hand than 2nd hand (especially len is more than 4 to 5 years).

Bro, if you intend to use your lens forever (or at least few years), I recommend to buy the new one.
But if you only want to try-try (few months, and then planning to get a better one), you can buy 2nd hand. If you're lucky, you get the sharp lens with cheaper price.

Hope this is help.

actually the price different not that much . When u are getting first hand stuff from shop u can usually ask them to hand u a few copy to mount on tripod and test to see which is the best copy , bring aloneg a laptop with u . I will go for the canon 50 f1.4 :thumbsup:

Well, empires are not built overnight, so give yourself some time. Don't feel handicapped by your equipment as long as you know how to use them properly. Don't be overwhelmed by the DSLR myth that it will give you good pictures automagically - what you see here is also coupled with lots of effort! ;)

Haha, I think after seeing the book you'll lust over the f/2.8 IS version instead, so getting the f/4 version is just a stop-gap measure. :bsmilie: IMHO, L lenses are very well built, and this f/4 version has a pretty good resale value, so you can consider getting the 2nd hand - just make sure to test it properly!

Just try to keep the book clean...don't drool over the pages...keke...

Once the initial excitement is over, you'll slowly find a new balance to fit photography as a (big) part of your life. Photography cannot replace a healthy lifestyle*!


*Unless, of course, you have 20-kg equipment and you're into bodybuilding...haha...
