[Flossa318]

I'm thinking about purchasing this. Do you have any footage using this lens on your channel!

[bumblebee561]

so i really like this lens, and i want to get it but im worried about no IS, is it really noticable without it, like are the shot abit blurry due to shake? is it worth pay another $1000 for is?

p.s nice review - i Subscribed

[CasperDawson]

PS: White Balance, dude!!! ;-)

[CasperDawson]

You talked about the weather sealing and IS, but are the internal lens elements the same as the IS mark II version?

[qiuxiaoshu]

Love the video! Good job!

[ArtistulBoboc]

What? Isn't waterproof and dustproof ?? However it's an L lens! !

[yaderzkaya]

Hey, Where do you live?

[xMellowxMariax]

I just wanted to say i love your videos and your super cute xD Also, Ive been really interested and getting into photography do you possibly have any tips? :]

[sg2244]

Doesn't have weather sealing? It's an L Series lens?

[boooboooo2]

hey, did you take into consideration the sigma 70-200 2.8? What are your thoughts on the lens?

[kylerose1990]

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like Drake Bell?

[bendingsnake]

It's 1000 more for the is isn't it.

[TheRedbullWebber]

you should invest in a better camera, 30d isn't great compared to whats currently avialable.

[bulletz4life]

@TheRedbullWebber didnt you read that he filmed the video with a canon 7D??

[MikeyMcArthur93]

Hey dude, I'm stuck on this lens and the Mark II of it, Is it really worth the extra $1000!?

please help :)

[PhotoTeen]

@MikeyMcArthur93 Don't pay the extra. Save the $1,000 for another lens.

[corey75952]

Man, how can you afford such nice stuff!?!

[PhotoTeen]

@corey75952 I do all I can to get business. I have a moderately successful sports and portrait photography business. I pay for ALL of this myself - through my photography.

[CrazyLini]

Whats your opinion on this:

I got a XSi either wanna buy a 70-200mm 2.8 (for indoor sports) or a Canon 7D (better iso) or a 24-105/24-70mm as a walk around lens ? thoughts?

[PhotoTeen]

@CrazyLini The XSi is certainly not a good option for indoor sports, however, I'm not going to simply recommend the 7D unless if you've got a decent lens to use on it. You should probably do it the way I did. I bought my 70-200mm and used it on my outdated 30D for several months, then I bought the 7D.

[PhotoTeen]

@PhotoTeen I agree with the person below - it's all about lenses. I think I even mention in this video that a heavy body is good to have with this lens - however, you can always counter-act the weight of the lens with a battery grip.

[LittleAznInBigTaiwan]

@CrazyLini it's all about lenses. invest in glass now and then buy a better camera later. in my opinion, the 7-200mm 2.8 is really front-heavy on the xsi.

[CrazyLini]

whats your setup again camera/ lens wise?

[PhotoTeen]

@CrazyLini Canon 7D, Canon 30D w/ BG-E2n grip, EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM, EF 50mm f/1.8 MK II, EFS 18-55mm, 430ex flash - that's my main bag. I've got other flashes and lenses that stay in other bags. I'm planning to get the BG-E7 grip for the 7D, then a 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens.

[YouAreDead77]

@PhotoTeen are you sure about a 16-35 on a crop body? 

[StevenRHaz]

Hope you do more vids man - are you on flickr?

[PhotoTeen]

@StevenRHaz Thanks! I've got more videos coming! And I am on flickr - link is on my YouTube channel

[StevenRHaz]

what kind of flash do you use for weddings?

[PhotoTeen]

@StevenRHaz I have a Canon 430ex as a primary. I use a Nikon SB800 and a Canon 540EZ for off camera wireless strobes with stands, umbrellas, triggers.

[vehlajatt22]

this lens is legendary, use it well!

i have the f/4 IS version (much lighter and cheaper) and it is the sharpest zoom lens i have ever used (rivalled only by the nikon 24-70 2.8 G)

[PhotoTeen]

@vehlajatt22 It truly is a legend - introduced by Canon in 1995 and still in production today. The f/4 IS is amazing as well!

[YouAreDead77]

what's in my camera bag update ?

[PhotoTeen]

@YouAreDead77 The update will be up when I get my new bag. I'm planning on ordering a new shoulder style messenger bag.

[wkjan]
