Zoom or Prime or...?
      02/06/2008 09:25

Am I being precious?
Current kit 5D with 24-105 L, and 135 f2.0 L lenses, and Epson R2400 printer.
I've been thinking of going longer, and was looking at the 70-200f/4.0 L, but then I tought "I've already got 135, so.." I checked Mifsuds, and they do the 200 f/2.8 L for very little more than the cheepest 70-200.
So will I notice any improvement over the zoom? Do I need it? Most of my prints are at A4 at the moment but will be goiing to A3 shortly.
Am I being precious / pretentious / pointlessly perfectionist in going for "L" lenses or would the 70-300 f4.5/5.6 do?
BTW I've also got the 100mm Macro on my shopping list. and that's not "L"
Cheers,
Dave
