I'm giving myself an early Christmast gift! I just ordered the 100-400.
I've been lusting after this baby for quite awhile. It's supposed to be here Friday!!

IS is a blessing when you have to shoot animals hiding in the shadow or the shade, when even ISO 1600 will only bring your shutter speed up to 1/200. Lighter weight helps a lot. Push pull is no problem at all as long as you get used to locking and unlocking the tension ring. And full time manual focus is wonderful, I used it a lot when AF missed and locked onto grass in front of the subject.
