Got my new bazooka! (Read 547 times)

Hello,

After two weeks, I finally got my new zoom lens for my Rebel. It bought a Canon EF100-400 L IS. My first lens from the L series. I know this isn't the best L lens, but it's a fine one to start with. If you are an aircraft spotter, this lens is a must have. A perfect range, fast focussing and IS...which makes a hell of a difference.

Some people claim this lens is pretty soft at 400mm. To prove the opposite, I'll give you three quick shots I took today. All at 400mm. I hope you like them as much as I do.  Wink

...

Shutter speed 1/125 @400mm  8)

Nice quality photogaphs but I have something to say to you:

You think 400mm is a bazooka lens?!!? You ain't seen nothin' yet!

This is a "bazooka lens": http://www.dvinfo.net/canon/images/eos1200g.jpg

http://www.tanchung.com/images/canon/lenses/ef1200mmf56xu.jpg

It costs more than some cars and I know I guy that has one! It is 1,200mm but with the crop factor of 1.6 on his 20D it is effectively a 1,920mm lens! Crazy reach and quality! 400mm with a 1.6 is good enough for most of us though.

Wha-? no, I mean a tufted titmouse, of course!! Why, the very idea...!!! Angry
  Besides, I've been looking at something completely different lately in that other department... seems some rascal hacked the picture-cellphone of a certain model who, shall we say, sits on a treasure, and is fond of taking pictures of herself w/her phone... Grin Tsk, tsk. Terrible. Poor girl.
Now if you'll excuse me...

Thanks for the comments dudes!

The second one is a tit indeed. We have all kinds of those over here.

I know that 1200mm lens. It's Canon's biggest but also most expensive lens. It weighs 15kg. Here you pay €104000 for it. They only produce them by order.

15kg? Hell even i couldn't support that, and i lift dumbells twice that. Shocked Of course i could never afford it either:) I am guessing yours cost a few pennies as it was.
