I've got to say 100L for macro. There are some lenses that are such a pleasure to use that you don't know how you lived without it... And this is one. It was my first Lglass lens and the difference in quality and image over the kit lens was like night and day.
Every so often I run into a to good to be true deal like this on Amazon, and almost always it's cancelled after I order (though I did once score a used NEC 30" monitor for about half off, that is still with me and working well). I really don't understand why some sellers do this. What do they get out of this? Maybe they're playing some game where they're trying to get other sellers using automated listing software to lower their prices? I don't know.
I suspect they made an error in their add. It would be nice for them to at least say we blew it and apologize for getting you all excited for nothing.
Thank You for at least replying, sometimes I get the feeling this Forum doesn't want to listen to any problems but to talk mainly about what's new coming out, or how well a Canon did compared to a Nikon vs dropping it
/sad
Just rent 200 f/2 if you need it for any special event. It is pretty big investment if you don't need the lens regularly.if you live near central pa, I'll make you a good deal on 100mm L. my 70-200 mkii has taken its place as my preferred lens. it is sad really.
I would like to have 70-200L f/2.8 II and 24-70L f/2.8 II but don't want to invest so much in the near future. My next lens will be 100L f/2.8. It will give me new options for macro and some portraits.
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?
I believe I saw the same deal. $595 ? Gone now but I can't wait to hear about how it goes.
I'm asking because if you don't believe the deal is real, why give them a credit card number?
I believe what I was asking is whether it was at all likely that anyone would sell a like new 400mm L for 600. outside of crack heads, I don't see that type of discount happening.I just bought a like new Canon 400mm f/5.6L for $600........so is there any chance that the purchase will go through? I'm thinking no...

One feature I hope the 70D has (though I doubt it) would be wireless control of the new flashes. Not through a pop up flash, but through the actual radio signal the new generation of flashes are capable of. Quite frankly, I am AMAZED the 6D/5D3/1Dx did not incorporate this feature. Especially the 6D given GPS & WiFi. I would be happy to go without a pop up flash if it could control the new flashes wirelessly. I can't remember the last time I used my pop up for anything other than controlling off camera flashes.
