New Canon 70-200 f4 for $700

[Simon27]

Hello all after searching for a cheap price on the 70-200mm I came across this for $700 and the postage is free coming from hong kong http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Canon-EF-70-200mm-f-4-L-USM-70-200-f4-fr-500D-5D-50D-7D-/370431050129?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item563f694191

I think this is a very good deal :)

[Tatts]

Pretty good feedback too. Did you order one?

[Simon27]

No not yet but I will order one from them in a week or so :)

Try and save the $ for an IS one Simon. will worth it for a slower F4 lens.

Id be going with DWI. They have been nothing but awesome for me. usually have the item within 5 days.
I own this lens and its a cracker. I dont use it that much anymore and IS is good, But i dont know if its $500 more good. Some need it some dont. I dont find i get much camera shake in my shots but that could come down to my amazing biseps. hehehe. I believe that according to the tests of a few sites its the sharpest zoom lens canon have ever produced. The only thing i will say is that i see you shooting alot of motorbike stuff and sports stuff and you have the 24-105 covered and your 150-500 covered. Any reason your going for a 70-200? It might be worth going for a F2.8 so you can add a TC if you need too.

Yep that's my problem really is there any point getting the IS one as I have amazing biceps as well ;) and I would only really be using it during the day anyway. the main reason I would like the 70-200mm is that I get really close to the action just a few meters so this would be my in between lens of the two so I'm not always changing lenses if that makes sence, I might have to have a look on that site at the 2.8 :)

Edit. Ill see how i go with the 24-105 before i make my final decision

I have the 70-200f4 L IS, and bought it from DWI (along with a Canon 7d, 24-105L, 100 macro and now another 24-105L which I'm waiting on arrival). Have not had any problems with them at all. Usually receive stuff within the week, considering we're 'out in the sticks' so to speak.

My new TC and extension tubes have arrived (from DWI) but as I wasn't home when they delivered I have to wait until friday efore I can pick them up. Rats!
