If you do a fair amount of sports photos, you might want to also put the Canon 70-200 f/4 L on your list. I actually have the f/2.8 which was my first L lens and really sold me on what a difference good lenses make. It's still a major workhorse for me years later. The f/4 is basically the same lens and will give you just as good photos, but with the higher maximum apeture, and about half the price. And quite a bit lighter and smaller as well. It's the cheapest L lens, but consistently ranked just as high as any of them. The speed on the AF on this lens is superb and the color and sharpness of the photos is great. I usually recommend this one to people who want a really great telephoto, don't need it to be super portable and don't need the extra reach of the 300mm. And you can always add a 1.4x extender if you need more focal length. >But that 50mm/1.8 is definitely next on my list. Definitely the best bargain in lenses! --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
