Ok so I went out to shoot the " Ducks " today... Superovercast and just not the greatest light at all... So no shats today... Going out again tomorrow so we will see what I can shoot... Hard to believe I got this gem and cannot shoot yet... Took some shots in the house @ 1 second... wow that IS is great... Yes on a tripod too... But still with my 400 at 1 second I could only dream of such a sharp shot... I am not posting it cause it is not a duck! I will have a duck omorrow to post for sure....

Congrats on your new lens too!

Eric--you've come a long way since selling me the 18-55!! I'm sure you bought the 300 with the profits from that sale...hahahaha. If you'd like to meet at the Tiki again, I'll trade you the 18-55 for the 300 even, you don't even have to give me any cash....:)

Not as well as YOURS, evidently! :) Damn I'd love to have that lens. I just struggle along with my 200L non-IS and 1.4 Kenko extender. I did upgrade to a 20D from the 300D. I can't wait to see your pictures. You had some good ones with the lenses you already had! Please share your local shooting sites with a poor neighbor! :)
