Does "because I want to impress/intimidate people"
count as a good reason? 8-D
Chicks dig guys with BIG lenses! You know what they
say about a photographer and the size of his lens.
I realise the beauty of continuous focusing to macro region with a 100/2.8 macro.
I have a 180/3.5macro L. which I used quite a lot around my home town or near-by
region. It is far too heavy to lug it around further afield.
I am thinking of getting a 135/2L because of L quality to bring it around
I have a question regarding using flash exposure lock with, say, floral close

If I am taking a photo of a flower with a black background and want to get
the exposure correct, do I meter the flower with partial metering zoomed in
close(or positioned close if a non- zoom lens) and then ap

I was just on B&H's site pricing the 70-200 L zooms and both have
rebates that are good through 30 August 2001.

Is Canon's web site a little behind the times?

Yes,

You won't find any of it's members listed on any current search engine
