cant decide on which to buy first. i shoot mostly skiing/boarding. some kitebooarding and use my lenses to walk around and get pictures for my photo class.
right now i have a 100-300, 50 f/1.8, and two 18-55 zooms.
kinda leaning toward a 70-200 L.
thanks
help me for some K
 
if you already have a 50 and an 18-55 go for the 70-200, i have that lens and it's so good, you can't regret getting L glass
 
70-200 L is excellent. The construction, images, everything about it is worth it. Also on what you're shooting, you'd get good use out of it.
 
i would go for the 70-200 as well. L glass is really nice, but thats not the reason i would choose it. I dont think that most fisheye photos come out well. especially in skate photography
 
personally i would pick the 70-200 probably.

it depends what you wanna shoot though, like jumps and such from somewhat of a distance away or do you want to be right next to the action? that's the question i would ask yourself.
 
I suggest getting the nice L series glass, even though you basically already have that range covered. Then check out the vivitar 7mm fish if you've still got a bit of cash to burn. It's cheaper than the tokina but lacks AF, but with a fish, you really don't need it.
 
No but im planning on picking it up soon. I know someone with it and they really enjoy it. They say it's a fun lens to play around with because of the manual focus and aperture ring.
 
thanks to everybody that posted. ive found a used 70-200 f/4 in prime condition for 550 with a filter. YESSSSSS! i think ill take the plunge
 
Sick man I just got that lens and I LOVE IT. Its awesome. Also I'd search around for a little longer I bought mine used on Ebay for like $490shipped and unless its a quality filter don't bother but if it is congrats. I'm sure you'll fall in love as soon as you put it on your camera.
