"After using the 300D (Rebel) for more than 3 years, I got the 5D with the 24-105mm in January of this year Suddenly I found all my older lens either does not match the sensor of 5D or the 5D shows the weakness of the older generation lens.

I like nature photography and portrait. I need a longer zoom lens. Struggling among the 70-200 F4,F2.8, with/without IS or 100-300 with IS, I decided to go for the 70-200 F2.8 IS after searched many online review.

It is expensive, heavy, bulky and difficult to carry. I cannot put it in any of my backpack or shoulder bag once it is mounted. Carry the 5D with this new lens like carrying a newborn bady coming out from the hospital, need to be very very careful.

The image quality is excellent for both low light and bright daylight. Tested at the park near to my home in one of morning and another park on the other day time. First time I found such a clear, rich color and high defination digital picture in the past 4 years."
