re lens

Ok,Jason-I am unfamiliar with the lens you mention,must be very new.

Is it IS ? how much is it?,I cannot see it on the DWI price list.

Certainly sounds very good.

But once again,I'd look at the fact you have a 70-200 F 4 which is an outstanding lens-very sharp all the way through its range,This is an excellent lens for taking images of large wildlife from a vehicle.Our friends have a deer
farm and I used my 70-200 for that.

Those animals further away need more length than 300,I had a read of an article from a English chap,who did some wildlife photography in Africa,he said he used
use 70-200 F 2.8 and a 500 L,and those were the two lenses he used on that trip.

Depends,on your general out look of photography,if you really do not do a lot of wildlife photography and astrophotography.The 70-300 sure sounds like a great regular use lens.

Great to hear you got a 400 L Doug,you will really enjoy that piece of glass and use it a lot more than you think,even in regular day use.

Cheers Chris
