Birds?

I've been useing a 70-300 with a 1.4 extender on a 40D. I'm retired so a $10,000.00 lens just isn't doable. Over the years, I've got as primes, a 35 and a 50 plus a Sigma 105 macro. Zooms are the above mentioned 70-300, a 24-105 and a 70-200 f4. Maybe I'll stick with what I have for a bit and suffer along with the 70-300 + 1.4 extender. <g>

a budget always helps...so how much are you willing to spend? i'd sell the 70-300mm, and look for something longer...if you're on a really tight budget, the sigma 150-500OS, or maybe if you can find it anywhere, the tamron 150-600VC

Sounds like you have a rather limited budget. That being the case, either the 100-400L IS or the 400 f/5.6 L would be a good choice.

Thanks guys. And that Tammy looks promising.
