    Wow! That’s quite a lens.

    I checked out your site earlier as well…excellent pics! I recognized some too.

    Ps. What size lens is that?

    , I was told it's not the size that matters, but what you do with it.

    Now I am depressed.

    B&H sells it for $3,800, so I'd say you got a good deal.

    christ!

    75$???

    Well, i guess that is the price that you have to pay to get scoliosis at the age of... i dont know how old you are... but soon.

    That (and maybe 600mm f4...) are a "intresting" to carry around.

    Get a chopper and a assistan with the rest of the money.
    I have never been good with facts.

    To get that lens for $75 you either had to

    1. Suck dick
    2. Buy it hot from a crack whore who needed her fix
    3. Artist painted a can of raisins and replaced the lid and base with plexiglass.

    #4: You work at a camera shop that doesn't know what they fuck they are doing.

    Uh... Canon doesnt make any EF mount L lenses that aren't USM (except the TS-E 24mm f/3.5) and virtually all of them are ring USM

    Hell, they hardly make any lenses anymore that aren't at least micro USM.
