1st "L" Lens Magic Drainpipe

October 20th, 2012
I bought my 1st "L" lens off craigslist yesterday. It's an older lens Canon 80-200 f/2.8 L everything I read about it was really good. This was the predecessor to the 70-200 and the go to lens for many pro's. It's in great shape picked it up for $300. Just curious if anyone on here is still using this lens. If so could you share some of your pics. Thanks!

Wow $300! That's a great price for that lens! Ive only heard great things about it. From many accounts its sharper than the 70-200. I personally had a 70-200 2.8 non IS and a 70-200 f4 IS and non IS and the 70-200 f4 IS was the sharpest of the bunch.

@jojo2009 Yea I thought it was a great price. All the reviews said it was an awesome lens sharp as a tack and built like a tank.
