I was going to get that lens but decided to get the Canon 100-400 IS lens after Christmas. That squirrel looks like a cross breed between red and grey squirrel. Neat colors. 40D

The 100-400L is highly regarded, but if you can do without the extra 100mm range, the 70-300 IS is less than half the weight and is 1/3 the price. Canon 24-105 L IS USM,

Hmm, maybe I'll consider that lens now instead of the 100-400L that is getting very long in the tooth. Thanks for sharing! I had the 70-300mm IS, and it was a fantastic lens, very sharp and was all I used for a couple of years. The only thing wrong was the slow focus at times trying to shoot little birds that move about alot. I went to the 70-200mm 2.8 IS, and have a much faster focus, almost instant. But for the money, that 70-300mm is a very fine lens, and you won't be unhappy about the quality of the photos...steve Steve
