re lenses

Yes,Humayan-I have sort of seen the items you refer to,in photography magazines,but really do not know much about them or where to get them,or how much.So if you have any links that may be useful,I'd appreciate that.

Also how,or do they work on L's that have the sliding hood,like 300 F4 prime,and 400 F5.6 prime,I have the latter,I using it for birding and wildlife.

I have been in the field with others,and they could observe me using the lens for birds etc,and really noticed how the game eyed that big white lens.

So some sort of cover would be really useful for both my white L's the other is a 70-200 F2.8,I use it for sports photography at the moment.

RE-L's,they are a joy to use,and have really made photography so much more pleasurable.

Interesting canon do make other lenses,and the optics are L grade,but the build is'nt L grade,I just got the 17-55 F2.8 IS,and this lens pulls away like a freight train-easily L quality optics,and focus in low light-wow-its quick!

But its priced like an L,but worth every cent-only had it a few days,but as useful and important as the L 400.For those unfamiliar with the Love of L,here is a sample pic I took with 400 L and 450D.
