Thats the 70-200 4/f L without stabilization. |

Oh nice! Didn't know you had one of those. I want one too, but the IS version (and maybe the f/2.8 but it's pricey...)
I have a 100-400 L though, so it might be a bit of overkill :sadgreen: |

I've never felt the need to reach further than 200, except when I am doing stuff thats obviously requiring more than a 400... (like taking photos of islands and houses across the water from my cabin). 70 to 200 is a nice reach, and on a full frame like the 5D 70 feels way wider than it does on a smaller sensor sized camera.
On the other hand you do get the feeling of more reach, which is why when Jake isn't bogarting my 350D I usually keep it on that and my 24-105 4/f L IS on my 5D. |

Yeah, anything longer than 200mm and you're looking at pretty specialist photography, in most cases. The 70-200mm is highly regarded in terms of it's optics though, which is why I wouldn't mind one. I keep looking out for cheap-ish second hand ones here and there.
I wouldn't mind a 24-105 either, damn it :p |

the 24-105 was the kit lens with the 5D :p Not a bad kit lens! :D
Yea, the optics on the 70-200 are stunning, for portrait photos it gives a really soft touch, especially in lower lights and higher ISO. You get it out in bright light and you crank up the aperture and you can get some really crisp photos that brings everything into focus. I love it, even with out the IS. I tend to use it in broad daylight and have never had the need for IS to compensate for the somewhat high f-stop. |

Go past that 200mm and the IS starts becoming pretty important :p
I can imagine it would be be good for portrait shots. I tend to use my 100mm f/2.8 for that, but being a prime lens it's almost TOO sharp. If I'm a few meters away, in good light, and take a pic of someone's face, you can literally see every ing pore on their skin. Which isn't always flattering :p Kick-ass for macro shooting though :crazy: |

Not my photo but I wanted to share this:
Michio Hoshino, a photographer known for his pictures of bears and other wildlife, was mauled to death by a brown bear on the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia. He was in his mid-40?s and lived in Fairbanks, Alaska.
This is the last photo he took.
:wtf: |
