    70-200 f/4 L IS and a warning.

    I've received my new lens yesterday, and it's lovely. Even ignoring the IQ the general feel and smooth operation are worth the money. I've always been satisfied with the shots I get from my 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS and thought that this 'L' thing was an affectation of poncy pro photogs, but after handling the new lens I'm in love!

    In fact I had two deliveries yesterday. The other one was a bottle of 16yo Cragganmore malt which was a birthday present from my son. It's just as lovely as the lens :)

    And the warning? Have nothing to do with Camerabox. They are impossible to contact by 'phone, only rarely answer emails and blatantly lie about delivery times. I only managed to get my lens delivered after sending a recorded delivery letter threatening legal action.

    Stiil, my lens is here and is travelling to the Lake District with me tomorrow.

    Regards,

    Stuart

    Hi Stuart,

    Thanks for the warning - I was looking the price of their 300mm f4 'L' lens. I guess I'll have to fork out a bit more cash & get one from a more reliable source.

    Hope you enjoy the results from your new lens.

    TTFN,
    Neil

          A quick google might have helped to make a decision to use or not .
