last photographying post (for now, i promise)

Of course, no discussion of what lenses i'm looking at would be complete without the "If money were no object" lens:



The Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. Canon L quality glass (and there is a noticeable difference there!), Image stabalization, and look at that range - 100-400mm! (Alas, i'm not using an aps-c camera anymore, or I'd get 160-640mm effective range out of it).

Of course, that would leave me hanging in the 70-100mm range.

This is a horrible, horrible addiction....

I swear, I don't speak Camera, so I see these posts and think of this one.  :)

when i got my rebel, i had an offer to get one of those for $1000. unfortunately that was about $700 more than my lens budget at the time, so i had to decline :(

With the cost of good long glass being what it is, it almost makes more sense to get an aps-c body with good "less long" glass. As a bonus you get a backup body, for not much more money.
