[quote=TimH;234312]Looking for recommendations from those Canon Users out there for a really solid canon(or compatible) telephoto lens for shooting glamour.

My budget's in the $1,000.00 range. Anyone have one that they are crazy about? Why?



First of all-- AWESOME photo-- I love it!

As for your question, for under 1k, my #1 choice is the 135L f2. It is the sharpest canon lens I have ever seen for any price!

Another option is since you can't do the 70-200f2.8IS due to price, the 70-200F4 IS is just as sharp (or sharper if you read certain reviews/tests) and runs around 1150. Personally for studio use, I would use the 135 assuming you don't mind going with primes. For zooms, 24-70L 2.8, 24-105L f4 IS, and 70-200f2.8 IS are all awesome.
