REALLY Want a 100-400L – Help Me Convince My Wife!
I just came across this post at the DPreview forum (click here to see the whole thread):
100-400\L Examples. Help me convince my wife!
I really want a 100-400 L lens. Please post some of your photos taken with this lens so I can use them to convince my wife that I need one! (I have a 70-200 f/4 that she thinks is “good enough.”)
Cheers!
Jim
This just brings me back to Tim Allen in the old role on “Tool Time”. We always want (ok, we NEED) the newest and best tools. But let’s face it, sometime our wives don’t know the difference between a zoom lens and a socket wrench.
I can tell you this. Most women will not be impressed with pictures of the feather pattern of a heron in flight, at least not enough to say, “Oh, Jim, now I see that you really DO need this new Canon 100-400L lens.” But, did you notice the photos of the kids playing baseball and water skiing? Now those will help sell her on the deal.
My wife is awesome, and she is my main cheerleader when it comes to photography, but she is not always on board with the new purchases that over-extend our budget. And, quite honestly, I’m not even sure the family photo thing will work every time, but it sure is worth a try.
I must go on record here and say that aside from that new Canon EOS 7D that you really need prior to the acquisition of an additional DSLR lens, the Canon 100-400L lens is a worthy target for your next purchase. If you LOOK HERE
? The ratings for this lens are the highest I have come across for any lens on Amazon.
Oh, I almost forgot. If you are still trying to decide which camera you absolutely need, make sure to visit www.digital-photographic-resources.com :=)
That’s it. Happy Shooting!
