These were taken with a 300mm F4L IS and 1.4x TC. I rented the 300mm and I am impressed with it so far. I was shocked at how much the TC affected the focusing speed. I hardly notice a change on my 70-200mm F4L IS but it was significant on the 300m.

And great to see some flowers in the background. Nice Chickadee image as well. "the earth has music for those who listen."

Mar 18, 2008 08:37 | #4 Thanks for the comments. I rented the lens for a couple of reasons. First, I am torn between the 300mm F4L IS with my 1.4x TC and a 100-400mm L. Second, lensrentals.com is about 4 miles from my house so I picked it up and saved the shipping. It was only $45 for the week. I have pretty much decided on the 300mm F4L IS. Hopefully I will be able to push the button in a couple of months. Maybe they will have instant rebates by then!!!
