Hi Charles, Save your pennies nickles and dimes. In your area there is probably and older 80-200 2.8 L, 100-300 5.6L or maybe even an used 70-200 2.8 (non IS ). The big diff here is the quality of the glass and Constant aperture. Once you have a used an L lens you won't go back. Critically speaking the lens is where should invest as much cash as you can afford. good hunting Les On Tue, 06 Aug 2002 19:18:58 +0000 Charles Dias <charlesbronsondias@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi folks, > > I found a Canon EF 80-200mm f4.5-5.6 > ULTRASONIC lens in great shape (near > mint) in a used camera store and Iīīm tempeted > to buy it but I couldnīt find > any info about itīs quality around the web ... > I guess itīs the first > ULTRASONIC series ...
