If you have a Canon camera, the Canon lens is best for this focal length

Very nice! I just picked up the 2.8 non IS. I love the big white lens, gets a lot of stares tho.

I'm glad you wrapped it in black. I hate the look of those grey lenses.

Seems like you got the new version, it's "whiter" than mine. Mine is a bit more cream colored. Why did you wrap it in black? Seems to defeat the purpose of Canon's reasoning for painting them white in the first place.

That looks like the original, not the II, to me. I imagine that it's just the white balance of the photo.

1) Bling
2) Reduce absorbed heat from the sun
