Credit card?? What's that!?

btw I'm leaning toward to get 70-200 mk ii, my 70-200 is f4 was an improvement over 70-200 f2.8 is mk i. Really. From what I read on potn, looks like 70-200 mk ii is the chit!

i meant ATM/debit card.

Darren, the 70-200 is a good lens, but pretty big. I think it would be uncomfortable to use it as a walk around lens.

The 85L is very good as you know, but the focus is super slow. Keep that in mind if you are planning on any sort of action shots.

I would buy a 35L, 50L and 135L. The 135L isn't too popular (I don't know why - maybe the focal length), but it is a great lens.

WesleyC · 01-08-2012, 10:45 PM

Have any of you taken flight lessons? I've always wanted to fly a plane.

creaminz · 01-08-2012, 11:28 PM

Damn Wes! 150mph isnt enough for you?

Thanks for the suggestion, I have yet to try out 135L...
24L, 35L & 50L I used them before...maybe...I might give 135L a try. I will be mostly using it for portrait photos for my wifes new biz.

WesleyC · 01-08-2012, 11:59 PM

For portraits, the 85L is king. The 135L comes close, but the focal length is hard to work with in tight spaces.

What kind of business is your wife starting?

I have a friend who is Riz's age and he's already a pilot. Sweet deal if you ask me

Wow, reading this thread made my blood boil...

Cliffs:
- Guy sends his car to be painted by fellow forum member while is serving overseas
- Scumbag charges $6000 for a paint job that looks like it was done by Stevie Wonder
- Scumbag drives the car to local meets without the owners permission

And there are many more shady things that this guy has done (e.g., while working on customers cars, he swapped OEM parts (to sell them, presumably) for cheap reps).

I can't believe enthusiasts would screw over fellow enthusiasts. That guy deserves a good ass kicking.

creaminz · 01-09-2012, 12:27 AM

Read that too...pretty messed up. I cant believe shop owner actually drove the customers car to a meet without a permission! Plus he returned the car to customer in shitty shitty condition

Yes, it will produce similar results. It's a good lens, just kind of big. If you don't mind that, I say go for it.

Thanks Wes, I think Imma pull the trigger. And if I get 70-200L is 2.8 mkii I can sell my 70-200 is f4 to makes some money back

Definitive · 01-09-2012, 10:45 AM

My walk around is a Canon 24-70f/2.8L. Kinda big and heavy, but I love that lens. Great all around lens. My 50 is fun too, but better for just portraits in a fixed setting.

cooler2442 · 01-09-2012, 01:49 PM

Someone with a dog should test this to see their dogs reaction lol.
