Shoot Kansas City, Missouri -- Urban Life & Travel in photography-on-the.net forums

I ended up ditching my Canon 70-200L f/4 as I just wasn't happy with the results I was getting. The last image was taken with my beginner lens the 55-250IS. I'm thinking I want to jump to the 100-400L. I plan on visiting Yellowstone this summer and have an Oregon visit coming next month. I would love to get some close up images of some wildlife. Any thoughts?

100-400 would be fantastic. I would love a 100-400L II myself.

100-400L is my favorite lens. Look through some of my photos of a recent Air Show. Simply amazing quality. You will never look back!!

That third photo is superb. I would love the second version of the lens but can get the first version more in my budget. Just not sure about the push/pull style of zooming.

My original thoughts too as for the push pull focus. Not an issue, trust me. In one outing and after 10 or 20 snaps you'll have it down. I honestly can not think of one draw back. I suppose if there were one, it would be the locking ring to hold focus or lock the lens from creeping. Actually, that for me was/is harder to get used to then the push pull focus. On and by the way mine is the original release model. I cant afford then newer version.

Have a look at KEH.com. Used photography equipment. I buy a lot from them. Matter of fact thats where my 100-400 came from.
