My New "L"

wsmith96 said:
I just received my second "L" lens. Nothing sexy, at least for the audience here, but I needed a standard zoom to compliment my used 5D. Just received a new 24-105L for $650. I'm impressed with the build quality and am excited to give it a workout this weekend. It's a white box, but that's okay for me.

Next on my list is to upgrade my EF-S 60 to the EF 100L macro.

Congrats and beware of 'L' GAS. Muy first one was the 17-40 f4L and later I never stopped. The only non-L are my 15mm f2.8 (fisheye) and the 35 f2 IS but they are dammed good lenses that I never thought about to updrage to 'L' lens.

My affliction only continues to grow...

Started out with the 70-200 2.8 (non IS) attached to a 40D and that quickly progressed to a 5dMiii which somehow managed to come attached to a 16-35 2.8ii. Most recently, the stork brought a 100-400ii so I am in full-blown "L" with no remission in sight.

I still need to cover btwn 35 and 70 so I see the 24-70ii bug coming in the not so distant future.

Communicable lens disease... (CLD?) SHEEESH !!!!

I got my first as 70-200 F4 L IS and was really impressed by image quality. I then had a 100mmMacro 2.8 L IS and this is an awesome lens. The best ever I had in hands.
I then acquired the 24-105 L with the 6D, but I have to say, I have not been very impressed by IQ ??? . May be it’s not a great copy but I was expecting more :-\ .
I am now looking close to 100-400mm II. I believe I will dive as soon as availability is better. I tried it and IS is stunning and optic is sharp :D .
I don’t know if it is GAS or L addiction, but this is definitively Sharp images syndrome ;)
