in fact, £1000s are not uncommon either.

It was always expensive, unfortunately

yah true its never cheap -- but still........

I am not earning much at the moment (only a student) so I can only think in £100s currently - budgeting for £1000s is not practical!

I know, I only wanted to point out that 100s are not the end of the pain scale

in powers know how many more years!

I jut hope my lotto numbers come up

true - but top end lenses don't tend to lower much - and I am one of those who likes new things
so its up for long saving
worst thing will be if canon change their whole lens lineup )knowing my luck they will do it a day after I order the final lens!

buy second hand

Which is why they need to get on that damn Sigma 70-200 for 4/3 mount, and soon.
