Title: Got a new lens
Post by: TeacherMan on April 26, 2011, 08:54:00 PM: Well its nothing special if your a professional but I'm really tired of living in AK with only a 18-55 stock lens on my XSi Canon EOS. When I left my last teaching job I left all my photagraphy gear. I ordered a Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM Lens tonight with a hood. I compared it to the canon 75-300 lenses and none of them in the same general price range have USM. I figured it will work well if I get a tripod and use it mostly in the bright Alaska summers. Should be in the mail by the end of the week. I will get some new moose pics for you guys and post them soon! One of these days I will get the 70-200 2.8L maybe even in IS!

For clearer pictures try shooting off a tripod at 300mm.
