New lens - Canon EF 70-210mm f3.5-f4.5 USM

The classic Canon EF 70-210mm f3.5-f4.5 USM, pictured above, with details at http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EF-lenses/EF80200mmf28L/index1.htm#EF70210mmf3545USM

I was looking for something to fulfill the telephoto end of my kit, since I got rid of my Canon 75-300mm f4-f5.6 USM. I would love one of the Canon Pro 70-200 models (they have 4 models ranging in price from about $800 to over $2,000). This lens is better than my old 75-300, even though it was discontinued over 10 years ago. The auto focus is super fast...and it was about $200 (shipping included) from e-bay. Good enough to hold off buying one of the $$$$ lenses, at least until I can come up with a SANE reason ;)

Enough about the technical ramblings...here are a few test shots taken last night. Flash bounced left and up, Canon 20D, f4.5, 1/100-1/160sec. all focal lengths, and ISO 800.

Aren't they cute?
