Make more sense if you said what lens it is? :)
 
riight.. its taken at such an angle i thought it might be 400.. i have this lens but you made it look so much bigger and sexier from that angle :)

selling mine in a fortnight :)
 
A bit front heavy maybe ;)

Looks uber-large on that 1000D (I think that's what it is)
 
The 400 would have broken the mantelpiece! Wouldn't mind a 7D when they surface, but I'll have fun with this just now and see what's what.
 
OH MY! what a biggun, I have the f4.0L version of this I can only imagine how good this is

Learning to drive are we:)

Oh and nice lens.
 
Oh my, what a big one you have sir!
 
Laudrup (Michael or Brian? ;))

It's not what you've got, it's what you do with it

Or

It's not the size of your Canon, it's the velocity of the shot :cool:

Let's see some of your shots with your new baby :thumbs:
 
LOVELY lens - but may I poss suggest a bit of a body upgrade may be wise?? (Shoot me down in flames if you like - but a 1kD wont do that LOVERLY specimen justice.)

Brian of course! (Rangers fan here). I live about 10 minutes from Loch Lomond so I'll try to get some nice shots and do it justice!

Yeah I was thinking 5D classic or 5D Mk II or 7D. Have to get her birthday out the way first :razz:
 
The only thing I have against Big L lenses is the colour, I would much prefer them to be black.
 
interesting lens / body combination, is there reason that you stuck a £3K lens on a body that cost 10% of that and can we see some example pics please :)

oh and congrats :D
 
People are always saying invest in glass, so that's what I did :D I'm really waiting for the 7D, but we'll see.

Because it's his lens and he can do whatever he wants with it.

Anyhow, it makes more sense than a 5DII with a crap lens on it.
 
Look at it this way, you'll be getting the absolute best possible from your camera :thumbs: Great photo BTW, it really does look huge!

you are absolutely right i never said it wasn't.
i merely asked a civil question.

it just seemed a little extreme that's all and i hoped there might be a fun reason.

sorry i will try to be more sheep like in future :thumbs:
 
how do these take a 2x TC anyway? Seems like a cheap way to 960mm :D

Don't worry I didn't take offence, it was a legitimate question (I asked myself the same thing before I bought it :p) It's nice folk take an interest, that's why I like this site!

I'll upgrade the body eventually when I see a good deal, but while I had the money I thought I'd treat myself rather than fritter it away on the girlfriends whims e.g. shoes, clothes and 'romantic' breaks :bonk:

Thanks for the reply Laudrup :thumbs:
your reply makes perfect sense of course and your logical thought in your purchase shows fantastic style :D

:D

I used to feel the same way at one time thinking if only they were black I would buy one!. I actually felt a bit embarrassed when I first ventured out with a 70-200 but now it does not bother me in the slightest, I have even had the 300f4 L on the street before, I am used to the looks I get now:D.
 
Great lens - you'r e not going to regret that for one second. :thumbs:

It's amazing how many people think white lenses are some sort of marketing ploy by Canon. I often curse the colour myself as not the most suitable for wildlife.

I was out shooting a few weeks ago though, sat for quite a while in strong sun with the camera tripod mounted. The CF tripod was so hot I could barely stand to touch it, and the camera body was warm - approaching hot to the touch. I have a cammo cover on the lens which was quite warm to the touch, but interestingly the white bits of the lens not covered by the cammo were relatively cool. :shrug:

True that white reflects more heat and heats up more slowly. However they will stabilise at the same temperature after a while.
Nikon and Zeiss and Leica who make equal or better lenses make do quite well with Black. I remember seeing some Minolta white lenses.
