So where are my pics? :):)

I don't have the 300, will a 400 do? You'll be getting the 400 fairly soon anyway, I'm sure. The 300 will be good practice getting used to the weight of a big lens. :)

So what did you sell to get this one?

He sold a 16-35L, 24-70L, and 70-200L IS. The three best zooms canon makes. :-( No way I'd sell mine for a 300. However, I'm saving like crazy for one. 'Bout 2/3 there.

If you can get past the initial embarrasment, it makes a killer lens for School Productions!........Ph​otography enters another dimension with one!

I keep trying to tell people you don't need an ultra wide for great landscape shots. The proof is in the pudding, right here.

When you get bored with your toys it's time to move on, I guess. But I wouldn't sell zooms for primes, i prefer the lazier approach!

I'm still curious how dante feels about missing out on the 50 1.0 now we can get a 50 1.2 though.
