Lenses / Re: Can the 70-200 2.8L II IS replace my 100L and 135L?

« on: May 22, 2013, 03:33:13 PM »

Again, I already sold my 100L, kept the 135L and bought the 70-200L. Version II of course. I also bought a 500D close up lens for the little macro work I wanna do, sure I don't get 1:1 but easily the double of what the 70-200 can natively do.

Anywho, if I find myself in need of a macro anytime in the future, I can just grab another 100 non L, or a Tamron 90 VC or something like that, it's just no need for a L anymore.

Out of curiosity, can you see a difference in shots from the 135L and 100L?

Not in texas, Black gets hot quick.

You'd need a white camera too then.

Camera not so bad rubber grips, but a hot black hunk of metal 70-200L is not desired by me.

The 50L is really for 50mm nuts like myself. It just has character.

Wow, That's pretty unsharp. My 50L doesn't look near as bad as yours.

How does your lens compare at f/1.2 and f/2.8, RLPhoto?

My g15 has been fantastic lately. Been using the H-IS system and Fast glass to get good shots.

It could be useful in a FF, High MP, native 50 ISO 1DS body but IT WILL BE A STICKER SHOCKER.

Just a note of how users are reacting, the petition is over 20,000 signatures. Let's say that they only bought Photoshop CS at one point @ 699$ and refuse to update.

That's around 14 Million less dollars for adobe, not including other apps, just Photoshop. I do hope adobe wakes up.

You do realise Adobe is a multinational corporation with a market capitalisation of around 22 billion US dollars and sales around 13 million A DAY? If every one of those objectors refused to ever give Adobe another cent their sales would see less than a 1/3 of 1% drop.

Not saying don't object, just putting it in perspective.

20,000 Users petitioned, that doesn't mean they're isn't more like 100,000 or more. Even yet, add Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Indesign and you've got hundreds of millions of dollars. Adobe won't go bankrupt over night but over time could lead to its waning as the market leader.

So yes, It's relative.

The canon Refurb store has them for 375$, I'm currently selling off my old speedlites to pickup a set of refurb 600's.

I'm on notice.
