neuroanatomist said:My 'gateway lens' was the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS. The 100L backfocused slightly on my T1i/500D, which led to the 7D, which had lots of noise and led to the 5DII, which was slow with weak AF and led to the 1D X. Oh, and I shot a bird with the 100L, which led to the 600/4L IS II.
Dantana said:I picked up the 200 2.8 L last fall, just before upgrading to the 6D/24-105 combo. I love how small, fast and sharp it is, as well as how quickly it focuses. It's a great lens. I know a 70-200 would be more flexible, but for a price.
It's also acceptably sharp with the 2X Extender III that I picked up just after. It makes for a really pack-able 400 5.6.
My first was the 17-40mm f4, followed by the 24-105mm f4 and later by the 70-200mm f4 (non IS)mackguyver said:My first L was the 135 f/2, which I purchased with the plan to use it for headshots to make some money from my photography. I did that, but actually ended up using it with the 1.4x as a poor man's wildlife lens . It's been downhill from there in terms of spending way too much money on these beautiful lenses....
