This is a crap debate, what is the point. Talk about pictures instead

To be pedantic though, It really depends on the intended use, for photography a Nikon is always going to be the best option. If, on the other hand, you wish to launch a heavy spherical object over a great distance then the Cannon referred to in the thread title is going to prove more suited to the job![]()

Though in this case, the cannon does have a more manly actuation noise than the nikon![]()

And for once it doesn't have that stupid white bit on the front![]()
I know, what manufacturer in their right mind would ever make white lenses . . . ?

My old lecturer told me other companys "copied" canon's white coating because amateur's wanted to show off their fancy pro lenses at a distance.
That's basically what it is, advertising.
Canon's large lenses are easily recognisable in sports stadiums and things, just gives them a bit of free advertising because they'll get noticed.
Shame you wont know if it's a sony, canon or some other copy then!

Or he could just buy a lenscoat like everybody I know who owns a massive super-tele
Something that big and heavy, I'd have a lenscoat on it whatever colour it was to protect it from scrapes and scratches.

Ruining a £5k lens = Priceless![]()

Roll of gaffer taper = £1![]()
Best I can find is £4 a roll.....................:shrug:

White is one small step away from tacky silver!
