A very nice all purpose telephoto zoom lens. the IS helps with the long zooms, and its not so heavy you have to have a tripod or monopod. Great for those going on trips, like to Alaska or anywhere else there is wildness

This is an awesome telephoto lens. I love the crispness it offers, and its not as heavy as the 600mm, yet works wonderful with the 1.4X tele extender.

Buy new: $1,529.95 / Used from: $1,390.00
Great lens, esp if you are shooting in low light, like indoors or a wedding. But it is a heavy lens. For most people the F4 or F4 IS versions will work as good if not better and fit the budget better.

If your using L series lens, use good filters. Heliopan and B+W are both ground glass, like the lens is, and give a much better optics to the lens and image!

A great general walk around lens. The IS is nice, the lens is light and not to bulky and the crispness of the L glass is wonderful! I normally have this lens or my 17-40mm F4 L on when ever im around people! Both great lenses!

This is a WONDERFUL wide angle lens! I love it! Plain and simple! Its great on my 5D and my Mark 3 and was great even on my old 20D and my 30D I use it a lot and the images are nice and crisp and the colors are true. Granted it does focus a tad slower than the Canon 14mm 2.8 but for the price difference I can put up with an extra 1/10 of a sec.

You need a Circ Polarizer, and it better be B+W or Heliopan, or else you are wasting your money, esp if its on a Canon L series. Plain and simple!

these are wonderful. Most people just use them in studio to trigger the remote flash! if that is all you are doing, you are missing so much. Get the cable and then you can use it to trigger your camera remotely! Great for kids shots, wildlife, esp Hummingbirds, or Moose in the backyard!

A great film camera! I shoot a lot of B&W with it and even still use a Canon 1N to shoot Infrared film, and use all the great EF lenses!!! Film is still alive and kicking, esp with Ilford (50 & 125) B&W film developed in Pyro!

This is a great thing so you dont have your face crushed up next to your camera. I have used mine on my 20D then my 5D and 30D! Its one of those little things most of the time you dont think about, but its great. Just like the battery grips. They are also a NEEDED item!

If you are going to be a photographer you better learn to use the tools that work best, and that includes photoshop. Esp if you are like me and shoot in Raw most the time! Pick up a good Scott Kelby book to go with it and you should be set, or just join NAPP

The 25 red is the standard filter you WILL need and want to use if you are going to shoot B&W. It also works well for shooting IR film! I use mine a lot!!!!!
