Pixel peeper is good for example shots:

1.2 Dynamique billabong
i picked mine up for £300 (which was cheap at that time it was normally £350+), but that was a while ago price have gone up since then although may have come back down a bit. Its an awesome lens, i use it with a kenko DG x1.4 teleconvertor which is just as good quality as the canon convertor but cheaper (especially if the ebay listing is mis-titled lol picked mine up for £23, normally are about £70)
here are some examples for you mate all shot on a canon 10d so keep in mind that its only 6.3megapixel and is like 7 year old technology now. not had a chance to use it on my 7d yet, hopefully going to brands hatch on thursday as there is an open pit lane track day on.

loads of pics have been posted before, tbh, you don't need to see pics, as i've seen amazing pics from s**t lenses (in comparison) from good photographers.
What you should know is it is very esy to use and get great shots from as an amateur,its just so fast and focuses perfectly every time.
Everyone who has ever bought or owned one on here has said its either 'the' best or one of the best in their arsenal, thats all you really need to know tbh.
Its my cheapest lens and easily my best.

Bite his hand off.
1.2 Dynamique billabong
i wouldnt worry about it not being IS especially if you are using it for motorsport as although the IS version has a second IS mode for moving subjects sometimes it can still be counter productive whilst panning as you are almost fighting against it. My lens is a non IS version. the lens is so sharp and focus is so quick you dont really need it
To the OP, you will still do great with the Non-IS BUT IS is definitely not over rated.
I never missed it, till I had it :rasp:
Oil Burner
Out of interest when have you found it useful?
Most of my subjects are moving, so i have never found it helped.
Mostly casual shooting when I'm traveling light, I love being able to blur a waterfall hand held, shoot in a museum/aquarium/cave without flash or shoot a larger f/number for landscape etc etc.
A few quick examples... f/2.8 ISO 1250, 55m shooting 1/15th, general theory says I'd need at least 1/50th to do this...

They are pretty impressive shots.
Im still not a convert though
this is a bit shorter than most of your shots, But its still 1/5th at 13mm
I would imagine for wildlife or walking around it could only help. The catch for me is that it interfears with panning and i know i would forget to turn it off/on when i did or didnt want it.
Its also pricey, One day maybe.

Focus TDCi
Buy it Scwepp, especially at that price. Absolutely stunning lens.
This is straight from camera if I remember correctly, will have output sharpening applied, but the lens is so sharp that it probably didn't need much, if any:

dunganick, great shot, your technique + IS and you'd go even slower but yup it sure is expensive combined with fast glass!
Back on topic, a couple of shots from longleat.. love the AF speed..
