good prices for canon lenses
Discussion
there is a guy on ebay, kerso, that does good prices on canon stuff but if POTN members get a little bit extra off. he is highly regarded on POTN and canon lenses are covered by an international warrenty (yes they are imported). I'm thinking about getting a new prime and he quoted me these prices.
100mm £242 & 10 P+P
135mm F2 L £510 & 10 P+P
if there is anything you are wanting to buy thats canon I would certainly consider him. just got to convice the wife that a 135 f2 is more important than a holiday lol

just had a look and they are good prices. was thinking of getting a new lens.
now do i go for the 70 - 300 IS or the 70 - 200 f4L? similar prices from this seller. i've got a 70 - 300 usm to sell if i buy a new lens so the cost shouldn't be too bad.
although very tempted by the 100 - 400 f4L IS.

Blimey is that the f2.8 macro poah (100mm)?
Thats a very good price if it is. I got a 70-200 2.8 IS from URGalaxy on Ebay while back and that was very good too. Worth mentioning it wasn't a Canon warranty, I think it was just a retailer warranty - probably the same with Kerso?
Even so, those are awesome prices, I was considering the 100mm macro lens, that just makes the prospect more tempting!

ARGH! Stop it! 
Out of interest is that a 100% crop? extension tubes? what body?
Im gonna do some photography for my sister, she makes jewellery and I'm thinking this lens would be worth getting, and at £250 its a no-brainer, but I'm not sure what to expect in terms of how big a ring/earring would be in the frame (on a 5d btw).
70-200 doesn't focus anywhere near close enough
24-105 ain't great for close up
50mm haven't tried it yet, will chuck a close up filter on it too, but it'll neve rbe as good as the proper lens.
Old sigma 70-300 macro keeps giving me Error 99 so I'm gonna get rid of that, only bought because it was cheap 2nd hand.
I fancy the 100mm as a people lens too.
hmmm.....how do I sneak that past the wife?!

That's full frame on a 1DmarkII N with 66mm of extention tubes...this is full frame with no tubes...
What he's NOT telling you is that where he lives the bugs are all 3 feet long and those shots were actually taken from the safety of 40 feet away using the 100-400 with an extender! Lighting provided by a small array of 580EXs. 
I'm really, really not jealous at all, honestly. No way. Not at all. As I keep telling myself.

How about a 70-200 F4L IS...?? I just picked one up from the States and it is 'the tits'
I'm reluctant to say this as I've heard nothing but good things about Ian when things go right,but I feel I have to...if you're committed to a purchase then great. If, however, something goes awry, then be prepared for the most intransient individual I have ever come across. I got no end of abuse and insinuation from him when I had to pull out of a 1D purchase last year due to Paypal and time being against both of us (something to do with PP not accepting the card for that amount without about a week's notice - not his fault but he was an arse about it)
I had ordered a 50mm 1.8 at the same time and it came through fine, but I will never do business with the man again.

had looked at that but was wondering if the extra £££ was worth it?
