MMmm..... Not really BBB virus..... I tried a friend L lens and was impressed with built and quality.... and so, thought of getting one since my 70-300mm Sigma is a goner.... and need a replacement telephoto zoom..... It is a Film era lens, with very bad flaring, and CA.... so, have to replace it......
I really like the non linear extension, non-rotating lens, internal focus of 70-200mm f4........ unlike most zooms..... such as 28-105mm.... My kit lens will serve me till I have enough budget for a 17-40mm, as I will get the telephoto first...... and it is projected in 12 mths time plus to get this 2 lenses.... so it is not really a BBB virus... BBB virus will not wait one.... lol..... :bsmilie:
I still believe that equipment is secondary to the skills of the photographer.
