Well, I've finally bitten the bullet and got fed up of my old Sigma. I just could not keep using it past about 200mm as it went as soft as butter and all my pictures were coming out really badly. So out comes my hard-earned cash.

For £350 I shall be getting the Canon 70-200mm f4, Canon lens hood, UV filter and a lens pouch. Just wondering if this seems like a good price?

Coming over from Hong Kong it will take '3-7 working days'. Well at least I can while the days away at home with glandular fever.....

Never had any problems with the seller in the past. Hopefully I will be in luck again....
 
A great lens for a superb price.
I guess the only downside with the standard 70-200 is the need to use a fast shutter at 150-200mm at a relatively slow aperture with no IS. For outdoor use though it's perfect :)

Lol, well I'm afraid my pocket is only a certain depth lol. I'm going to China in November so I'm running on a tight budget so I had to just go with this one. Well, there's always next year :D
 
Very good price on the lens dude. I got mine from that well known scottish chap for just a little bit more than that. You will love the lense its so differnt from anything else. Fast, sharpe and a really good build.
Happy photographing :D
