Hello /p/

Is when looking at the "white" lenses online they appear to be solid white, but today when looking at them in store the seem to be more greyish. what's the deal with that?

that's because they're not white

the only white white ones are Sony's

Canon's are almost beige, and Nikon's are white grey

I also bought a new (open box) 40D body for $675, excited to try out the lens tomorrow. haha it will be my only lens for now. They also have a 17-40L for $675, which I was considering, but I can't pass up the 70-200 and I don't have the cash for both...

Define "best". If you don't need the 2.8IS, the F4IS is better in every way other than vignetting. Sharpness, contrast (iirc), chromabs, etc.

nobody needs 2.8 except for sports.
f4 is lighter, sharper, and with IS more than suitable in low light as well.

Correction:
You are confusing, sir; using proper sentences would help.

If you're going to criticize easily understood (if not grammatically perfect - I transposed a period and a comma ending a sentence that should not have been ended) posts, I suggest you successfully compose your own with perfection on all technical counts.

orrrrr

The F/4 IS is better in every way other than vignetting. Though in sharpness, contrast (iirc), chromabs, etcetera the F/4 performs better when compared to the f/2.8 version.

How about instead of trying to get the last word you clarify your sentence so I can figure out which lens has got the better "Sharpness, contrast (iirc), chromabs, etc"

if that justifies carrying around double the weight and double to triple the price for you, then fine.
f4 gives me a fine shallow dof at 200mm at least more than enough for me.

Seriously, why do people feel the need to come to a photography board, when they can just go to dpreview and ask questions on a fucking gear board?

since when has /p/ been anything other than a bunch of kids screaming about the fact that
"2.8 is better than 4 because it is a smaller number!"
"yeah well there is more that goes into a lens than the apert-"
"FUCK YOU! 2.8 IS BIGGER THAN 4! AARRRGHHH!"

actually they're white so that they don't heat up as much in the sun which causes the lens to change shape and affect the pictures

yep, it was from Henry's.

Their mistake is fine with me. Though now it is the only lens I have for my 40D, I was going to get the Tamron 17-55 or the Sigma 30 1.4, but couldn't pass this up, and I don't think I'll have the money for another lens until after christmas.

Anyways, I'm happy.

Haven't had too much time to play with it or my 40D yet, but the IS is great, fuck, the lens is so cool. I was handholding 1/10 with little problems.

Pic not related, but still IS at 1/30
