My daughter, Rae, is majoring in photography at FSU and wants a zoom lens for Christmas. I just started checking out lenses online, then realized what a great source AK is for almost anything!:yes:
I'm looking at the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. It's price is over $1400.00 at B & H photography in NYC. But is it worth it? The image stabilization (IS) would be a plus for some situations. But it's something never dreamed of when I was into photography. Seems like cheating to me. (kidding)
She does a lot of wildlife photography. A nice lens would open up more possibilities for her. Seems most of her pictures are macro, though, but that could be due to her not having a good telephoto. She's not a professional yet, but you can see some of her work at organicmarble.com. It's her personal website.
Thanks for any suggestions, guys. I gotta order it soon or buy it locally.
