Which is why im in a sticky situation. THIS lens is no longer made but still costs a whopping £2.3k IF you can find one. Problem is, if it breaks I dont know if Canon can fix.

There is the Canon 200 f2L IS which is current but costs more but I need to try it before I can say yes.

Russian325is · 02-06-2009, 09:40 AM

aaah..I see..
very nice pics...they look very sharp too.

Yeah...that 200mm f2 is pretty much a kidney. $5,300 over here.

Not really something I could say I can afford this year but it would make sure a nice investment. I suppose for now, I can just rent as and when I need them.

I dont see myself NEEDING these high end telephotos in my bag for everyday use just yet.

Teshi · 02-06-2009, 09:51 AM

Just had to take a front lens element shot.

Agreed. I have to thank Canon for being insane to make this.

Tomorrow, we should have a whole flurry of lenses at a Rollerderby event

Should see 70-200's, Sigma 120-300's, the 200L, 300L, 400L. Should be interesting.

Sniz · 02-10-2009, 03:23 PM

Rollerderby by itself should be interesting! That lens is nuts. Have fun w/ it and dont break it!

asdflkijd · 02-10-2009, 04:05 PM

I just came.

radiantm3 · 02-10-2009, 04:35 PM

Rent security or pack heat. Even I'm tempted to fly over there and jack you. :P

Hehehe, it was the biggest lens there and certainly drew attention.

Hehehe. Be my guest since it has gone back. Only had it for three day hire.

Heres a shot a friend got while I worked.

Me hiding behind the 200 1.8L.

Compare that vs the 70-200 f4L

scollins · 02-10-2009, 05:34 PM

That is one huge lens! But it has to be that big to be that fast.

Luckily for myself (and anyone else near Seattle), we actually have a pretty good shop offering lens rentals. http://www.glazerscamera.com/rentals...as-lenses.html They even rent bodies.

I don't have a Canon, but if I did, that lens rents for $50 a day. If you pick it up on Friday after 3:00 PM, you return it by 10:00 AM Monday and it counts as "one day." Not bad!

$50? Thats nothing! Wow, im stunned. I got it on a three day with a 2x TC for £88 which is a bit more than what is listed there.

Good thing is with Lensesforhire is you pick it up or have it delivered a day before you hire starts and drop or send it back a day after your period finishes. So a three day rental is in theory 5.

I will defo rent this again. AF was not as quick as other Canon lenses but just need more practice with it.
