canonet Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Any Canon 100-300 5.6L users This is a very old lens from early Canon EOS film days and wondering if someone is still using it? I think the 100-400 lens replaced it.Until i bought a 80-200 2.8 Tokina lens,, this was my telephoto lens. In low light, i was just out of luck but shot many things with it. 2002 in Nova Scotia-film pic with a Canon EOS 10S 2001 in downtown Raleigh (this is current for today!) film pic 2004 in NC mtns (digital) Aug 25, 2009 at 02:58 PM

jcolwell Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · Any Canon 100-300 5.6L users It's a very nice lens. I sold mine earlier this year, after using the 70-200/4L IS for a while. Those look like Colchester County strawberries in your second photo. Aug 25, 2009 at 03:10 PM

Those look like Colchester County strawberries in your second photo. I do not use it much anymore due to having a 70-200 2.8L and a 300/4L. May pull it out to shoot some football this weekend! I am not sure of the county but was near Sydney NS. I was on my way, by myself, on a drive from Raleigh North Carolina to Raleigh in NorthWestern Newfoundland, a 2100 mile road trip one way! Car broke down three times but was well worth the adventure! Don;t let your car breakdown in cape breton! A member of Parliament named Mark Eyking owned the farm in Millville and spoke to him for a few minutes. That was a cool experience! In the USA you could not get most kids to do work like that and admired those who were working that field. Aug 25, 2009 at 05:23 PM

Since then, several "tea parties" are used as a protest for economic grievances. Thus tea is frequently used in a symbolic fashion. Sep 25, 2009 at 02:48 PM

The tea bad represents tax revolt..............remember the boston tea party where a tax was levied on the colonists. IN those days, one could start a war for talking about someone's mama if on a royal or federal level! Sep 25, 2009 at 03:00 PM

It is jerry Agar and he moved onto KC, then NYC and has a talk show, I think now in Chicago. I checked and he is still a legal alien from Canada. He cannot talk about folks voting, or not, if he cannot. ...............but I digress........ Sep 28, 2009 at 06:01 PM

Tapeman Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Any Canon 100-300 5.6L users I used to have one. Sold it before going digital. I used it quit a bit and got some great photos. I think for the price it is a very good lens. Sep 28, 2009 at 06:20 PM

jajurek Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Any Canon 100-300 5.6L users I use it often on digital and the sharpness is wonderful, CA not too big. Like this lens very much. I live in Poland and here the photo hardware is expensive; average price of it is about 400 USD! Oct 27, 2009 at 06:54 AM

seanho Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Any Canon 100-300 5.6L users Another cheer for this under-rated, nearly-forgotten lens! I think with the popularity of the two modern 70-200/4s nobody talks about this dark little pipe anymore. But as long as you have enough light, I think it's a great little performer, very light weight, no CA on my copy, and oh so sharp at all focal lengths up to around 280mm, even wide-open! (well, not that it can open all that wide.) My copy has not gotten much use now that I have a magic drainpipe 80-200/2.8L and a 135/2L. But I still pull it out for nostalgia. This was on another old classic, original D30.

canonet Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · Any Canon 100-300 5.6L users Sean, I have mine still in my closet and getting little use now but for a vacation lens that gives great performance BUT does not stand out like canon's white lenses these days. Nov 02, 2009 at 07:08 PM

timpdx Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #17 · Any Canon 100-300 5.6L users I picked one of the beauties up a year or so here on B&S for a great price. Since I really use this in good light or on a tripod, I am not very inclined to pay alot more for IS. Quality is outstanding. Used it a couple of nights ago (tripod, about 200mm, no sharpening). I use it throughout its focal length and love the results. Care to count the stairs in the building in the 100% crop? Because you can Nov 02, 2009 at 10:49 PM
