That's what I call a lens

I think I have lens envy - I've been able to borrow one of these - a 70 - 200 - and it's amazing. This is a friend of mine - great photographer.

That is a pretty impressive looking lens, have fun with your borrowed one, look forward to seeing the results. Have a lovely weekend Jocasta.

nice shot :-)

[Penny Price]

Love the processing.

[Rachel]

Cool shot. I have that lens but rarely use it as it is so heavy. It is an amazing piece of glass though

Nice shot! I have one of these and it is the least used lens in my toy box although I do have a use for it shortly. If I had my head screwed on right, I would have gone for the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM which is a much slower lens but has a wider range of focal lengths. I find 200 is just too short most times and using a 2x extender with it slows the lens down by two stops and ruins image quality. Ho hum 20/20 hindsight as usual! :o)

Stay friends... ;) Love the processing you did on this pic!

@steampowered talk about a canon ef 400 to have... ;-)

@amyspada Yep! I saw a review of this monster lens and all I can do is drool and hope (in that order!). Let's just say that this beauty is half the price of the first house I ever bought and about the same as my last new car! That is a frightening thought ;o)

[amy spada]

@steampowered lol... I know exactly what you mean ;)

[Kate Goring]

Great shot! That is definitely a whole lot of lens!

[Mary]

I would need to hire someone to carry it around for me. LOL Good processing!

[Carol W]

I'm just about to go and have a lie down in a dark room, all the excitement of seeing this kit is too much for me. I was doing OK until I saw the one @amyspada posted a link to. Nurse! Nurse!
Love your image, Jocasta, and the processing is wonderful.

Fab lens - considering a brilliant zoom sometime soon for myself. But oh the weight ( not to mention the price).

[Humphrey Hippo]

Oooh yes. I've had my eye on one of these for a while.

[Jennifer]

Very impressive, hehe. Nice shot and processing.

[Sue Rose]

I have no idea about the merits of the lens, but it looks pretty big to me! Great processing as always Jocasta.

[Lisa]

Great shot Jocasta - love the processing, makes it look like you really are dreaming of one of those lens! : )
