Attached Link: Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM

Congrats on the new lens. I just purchased the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM and I'm so happy with it.

I have just PX a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM for it. 

I got Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro  Motorised Tele-zoom , 4 weeks back for my Birthday. cheap and good only thing is the motor is a bit noisy, it fits the Nikon D40 and you can get then for the Cannon, we saved  20 euro buying in the shop rether then the net.

Nice one David, I envy you, we poor people have to get stuck wth the kits LOL, seriously though, I have seen that lense, it's a great bit of glass, good luck with it!

different strokes..

I got a 50mm prime,,

makes you think a little different..

I'd like to have  the 85mm

I'd like one of those sporting lenses, the big white muvvas, can you imagine the candids wooo hooo!... :)

I have a big white one Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM which to be honest is one of me favourites and hardly comes off, but it's too slow and a little soft at the 400mm end.  This new one I can double to 400 and not loose AF. or the speed..  I have also bought some bird feeders so look out soon I may be posting some bird feeding shots

Ronnie i also want one of those Bazookas as my wife says that big lenses is Bazookas.Lol but for now i will have to stick with what i have.

Well I will look very forward to your bird shots David, we have some fine bird photographers here at rendo, so go on mate join the ranks :)

Christo, I too must stick with what I have at present, but let's look on the bright side, a good camera body is a good start, and a good lense can come later, I have seen some great shots around rendo, even with kit lenses, some people just right off as snide and useless, we all have to start somewhere :)

I agree with Bruce ,the 50mm 1.8 that I have ,has changed the way I look at things when I have it on my camera :o)

Mick

As with Bruce, my first prime was 50mm.  I love it.  Still, I use mostly zoom for everyday but always have my bag with the 50mm available with me.  My 300mm prime and two others stay in my other camera bag to be carried when I think beforehand those will do the job.

Get a prime and be prepared to do the zoom with your feet!    

I shot a dinner once (casual thing for fun) using only  the 50mm and it did take an adjustment to the composing eye.

Fred, that is a good one you are getting...have fun and enjoy!
