After saving up for a year, I finally was able to purchase my first L Series Lens. I have been using Canon SLR’s since 2004 (starting with the original Rebel, and then jumping to my current XSi), and this is by far the biggest upgrade/purchase I have made for my camera.
A few notes and recomendations:
Positives:
Pictures are bright and crisp
This is a FAST lens
Quality of build is solid to the touch, and solid movement (zoom)
The WOW factor is really cool (many other photographers and ameteurs compliment my setup)
Drawbacks
No IS (not really needed, but for the price it should be there)
when using a flash…get an external one. The onboard flash does not sit high enough and you get shadows from the lens
heavy as an everyday lens (I got over this, but may be a draw back for some)
Recomendations
Rent this or any other L Series lens before buying. i went to Hawaii with this lens and the 70-200 IS 2.8 lens. I rented them both for 21 days, for under three hundred bucks. When I got back, I purchased this lens. It is a great way to try then buy. Look for sites that will rent out these lens’…try a search on lens rentals.
Overall very happy with my purchase. Have taken vacation shots of the kids, landscapes, architecture etc….all with excellent results. This is my new everyday lens.
