new lens arrived!

After seeing Heath's new lens, I thought it would be a perfect addition for me as well.

Just got it today. With a couple accessories


This is a great walk around lens. Decent zoom, but not too much that I would need a tripod.

Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Canon EW-78BII hood

Canon 72mm UV Haze filter







Can't wait to take it out! It's raining today

 

Looks good Bud...

Your assignment, should you choose to accept it:

Get some shots of some hot looking girls!!

Off you go now....

 

Cool lens! Wish I had a 28-135... however I have my eyes set on some L glass.

 

Thanks!

L series are way too rich for my blood. I'd have to get rid of one of my other hobbies if I wanted to invest that much.

24-70?

 

Congrats Pete!!!!! Looks nice!! I would love an L lens too but man, they aint cheap.

 

Yeah I think I'd either go with a 24-70 or 24-105 first. Hey, you can always rent L lenses too!

I rented a 70-200 f/4 L from borrowlenses.com

 

Huh, didn't know you could rent lenses. That may actually be very nice to try out lenses before actually laying down the cash for one!

24-70 seems to be the popular choice. As I hear that you sacrifice picture quality when you get into bigger zoom ranges.

I really want to get a fast prime lens next. Maybe the 50mm f1.8

 

I have the 50mm f/1.8 and it really is a nifty fifty. You can create some great DOF shots.

 

The 70-200 f4 IS is probably going to be my next lens. I can't really justify buying the top dog 70-200 f2.8 IS. It's just so expensive. If I get the f4 I can pick up the 10-22 as well which I also want.

 

Oooh nice lens...now put it to good use and post some pictures :thumb:

 

Very nice lens, how much did you pay for it? I think I got mine for about $275 and it came out of a 40D kit and had never been used. I put on a nice Hoya HD filter and I've taken some great pics with it. Nice lens, but now it's time for me to upgrade the camera!

 

I paid 280 shipped for everything. lens, hood, and Canon UV filter.

I agree about upgrading the camera. I have a rebel Xt.

Link to the Hoya HD filter?

 

I can pick up another one too. 250 for the lens itself. used, but great condition.

 

Here is a link:

And here is a pic:

 

You do realise a new lens thread is worthless without some photo's

Seriously though, congrats on the new addition!

 

Here's a couple quick pics I took with the new lens. Full auto is all, and no editing. The last 2 are photobucket links, and pb kills resolution for some reason:

 

Nice work mate, I like it!

 

Very nice.
