First image from new 70-200mm lens

[matt]

I recently purchased a Canon 70-200mm F/4L lens for my 40D.

Haven't had a chance to really test it out yet...but an opportunity presented itself this morning.

This little bird (I think it's a Butcher Bird) has become a regular visitor to our back deck. We think it's on the search for geckos, which are in abundance at our place.

I quickly grabbed the lens and took some shots at distance.

Quite happy with this....

Top shot Matt – I bet you are pleased with the lens!

That's a great image matt, Canon sure do make excellent L series lenses. I remember when I checked out one of the first photos that I took with my 70-200 and I was thinking to myself "ah yes, now I can see where the money went". Sensational.

Now, point that lens up at the sky tonight

Very nice bokeh in those lenses, hey? Great test shot.

Great shot. It brings back memories of the amazing shots I used to be able to get with my 70-200 F/4L on my EOS 300 film camera. These days they are much more rare, a combination of
- clear glass fitler on the front for protection, I'm sure it must detract!
- 350D which has a tiny view finder for focusing
- opportunities to use it

Enjoy it!
