Canon Telephoto EF 300mm f/4.0L IS USM

Also ordered a Cooperhill sensor cleaning kit.
Both lens are prime lens which should make them alot sharper then the zoom lens I've been looking at (one being the Bigma 50-500)

Will do, I've ready review's on top of reviews and it seems the copperhill keeps coming out on top.
I'm looking at a 1.4tc but don't really want to pay the $250 for the canon version, anyone here with the sigma?

But do you really want to put a 3rd party tele-extender between your L lens? Just a thought for you to ponder........... :D

Good for you ... a man with a bigger vvision :lol: :lol:
Tamron and Kenko Pro are the same and I recommend the 1.4x. The Sigma is also good but less flexible, along with the CAnon.
I want to know your experience with the Tripod as I am thinking it's my next purchase. Handholding is holding me back with my current kit.

Yikes! It took me months to assemble that much stuff - you've done it in one order! :)
That's all good equipment, and you should really enjoy using it.

man...i cant wait till the day i can afford one massive trip for all my photo needs
actually, i really just want a good tripod, monopod, light meter, 70-200 2.8 (IS or not, dont care...I'll make due) a solid walkaround lens and a 35 L (or the sigma 30mm if it can hold up to the hype) and then i would be pretty darn set for a gooooood while...broke for a good while too...lol
mad congrats...

Thanks guys, I'll post a review on teh tripod and head soon as it arrives, I can't wait to get the two lens here as they are both suppose to be just awesome lens to shoot with.
Anyone here with the Tamron or the Kenko Pro tc? If I'm reading this right they don't send the information to the lens that makes it go up a f/stop?

I know that you already sitting by the door waiting for the delivery van, but I'd like to say that it'd be nice to have a few 135mm f2 shots when you get the time to spare, playing with the rest of the new toys :D
