Just have to share with the world I have now managed to find a Canon 80-200mm 2.8 L Magic Drainpipe in top condition and it's lovely, easily the sharpest lens I've ever owned. I would highly recommend it for those on a budget (should get a good one for less than £250) and just stepping up from one of the consumer telephoto lenses like the 75-300 etc and looking to get "L" quality glass..It may be old, but it is amazing!

Sure it has no IS (drink less to avoid the shakes:), it weighs a ton (go to the gym), and you may be buggered if it goes wrong (research shows their reliability/build is 1st class) but what a cracking lens! Will put up some photos once I have taken some...

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
 
Congrats on your new toy err sorry Lens:)
 
Ooh, sounds just up my street - poor street that is, at least compared to most on here! My next pennies were going towards either a flash or a wide angle (just lost out on an old 24mm prime this morning) but I'll have a little investigate. Post some shots when you get a chance? Thanks.
