Canon 75-300mm Zoom Lens USM III. For the camera which I bought after christmas - Canon EOS 350D A few practice/samples I shot on the way to work the day I got it… [![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/moon-hand-shot.jpg) ](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/moon-hand-shot.jpg) [![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/no-jet-skis-ok.jpg) ](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/no-jet-skis-ok.jpg) [![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/flowers-villa-marina.jpg) ](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/flowers-villa-marina.jpg) [![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/war-memorial-on-douglas-promenade.jpg) ](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/war-memorial-on-douglas-promenade.jpg) I think I’m going to enjoy this photography lark… especially when summer comes back around. ---

And here I thought from the title that you had joined Virgil Samms and Kimball Kinnison! Anyway…good luck with the camera. ---

Very nice creative use of DOF in the ‘marina’ jpeg. Very nice. ---

Dang, **silenus** , you beat me to it! Telephoto lenses are way cool. And I agree with **the raindog** , the ‘marina’ photo shows great use of depth of field. And such pretty colors, too. ---

So it seems like you really like the Canon. I’m saving for a Canon or a Nikon, someday, one of them, will be mine, oh yes. ---

I noticed the picture of the soldier you had annotated to highlight the mark you’ve noticed, and then clicked on some of the other files to see how noticeable the marks were there. Hmm. Have you spoken to Canon’s customer service about that?
