I think I am about to have a heart attack (Pics added)

[monique_evette]

I just purchased the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens
Although, I swear my heart stopped beating for a few seconds after I pushed the "purchase this item" button.

That should make our bride either really scared or feel really special when we both have our white lenses pointed in her face!

Monique,

I thought I'd never pay $1700 for this lens. Just couldn't get past the cost. Figured I'd just plunk down the $800 and get a Sigma. That was then! The other night I was able to use this lens at a HS football game for a quarter. Holy cow! I so want this lens. So this is what my penny saving is going towards from now on.

Congrats!

Congratulations girl!! After taking just a few shot with Christie's 24-70, that's what I am drooling for!

Congrats Monique! Excellent choice. The buyers remorse will be VERY short lived.

Monique, you're going to love the great bokeh - and muscle building features built into this lense.

I used to use it for portraits a lot - now just use if for church shots from the back. I've been using my 85 f/1.8 for portraits a lot more. Don't need more muscles!

All teasing aside, congratulations.

I know the feeling.. When I bought my Mark III, I had MAJOR 2nd thoughts and palpatations. LOL

Then what do I go and do after I said I was done for awhile? Pick up the 300 F2.8 IS a little over a month later! My wife is overjoyed.

One thing you'll be happy to keep in the back of your mind...Resale on these L lenses are very good.. So if nothing else, you could probably sell it in a year and lose less than 10-15% max. Not bad for a year rental. At least that is how "I" justified the 300..


Congrats.. I love that lens. One of my favorites for sure!

Nice. Finally! Nobody can ignore 70-200mm f/2.8L IS if he/she uses Canon SLR.

[Daniel Bates]

Ha! I knew you'd do it... sooner or later...

Congratulations are in order, of course.
