    Someone bandied a similar idea a while back.
    I'd really love to try out the Canon 24-70L for a few days, I'd be willing to let the kind person have a loan of any of these..
    24-105L IS
    100mm 2.8 Macro

    I'd give it to you, but don't have it. Moving to primes :D:D:D

    I didn't include my primes. :p




    Although they're only the 50mm 1.4 and the 85mm 1.8

    If you have a 50mm and 85mm, then the 35mm is the ideal lens to buy. Fantastic. Nearly every shot I've posted so far from Syria is taken with it. Love it.

    My 24-70/2.8L USM is available for swap if you promise not to remove UV filter in situations when touching the front lens is possible.

    70-200/2.8L ISM IL is on my shopping list, I would like to give it a go.

    PM for details, if you are interested.

    PM sent. :p
    Oh I never remove filters, lenses are far far too expensive to take a chance.

    I'm very very impressed with mine, bought it from adverts.ie 2nd hand for €880 I think, was basically brand new!
    The pull and push zoom is easy to use too, I think the IQ is great too.

    • or kit 18-55mm VR lens.
    in exchange for a

    for a couple of weeks.

    Anyone interested? :)
