Little quiet town in Massachusetts! I hope I don't sound crazy. I was attacked twice in two days in Amsterdam! =] I'm sure I'd regret not taking it.

Jon Cream of the Crop  69,628 posts Likes: 227 Joined Jun 2004 Location: Bethesda, MD USA More info | Jun 28, 2009 10:18 | #8 On tours and in resorts . . . I'd say you'll be pretty safe. I didn't have a 300 2.8 at the time, but I felt OK with my gear using normal precautions.
And get a Better Beamer if you don't have one already. I should have used mine more than I did. Bright sky and backlit animals demand it. As does shooting around dusk, when they may be most active. The 300 f/4 pretty well lived with the 1.4x TC on it. With a faster lens or a 1-series I probably would have had a 2x on some of the time.
BTW - these were [I]all[/] 300 f/4 with the 1.4x TC. Jon

Just be careful in Costa Rica. I have been there it is not too bad. But, if you don't take your big fast glass with you will be kicking yourself for years to come. I am kicking myself all the time about that.

Jun 28, 2009 22:33 | #15 scot079 wrote in post #8188968 Sorry ma'am  but there's no need to get upset. I just thought of the 300 2.8 as more of a sports lens thats all.Not upset! Just giving you a hard time! mikekelley wrote in post #8189212 I'd like to hear more about this. I'm going to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks, planning on taking a 24-70, 100-400 and all the fixins. I'm going to Rekyavik after Amsterdam and I'm MUCH less worried about Reykjavik... Coincidentally, I also live in a small town in Massachusetts. Where im MA? Just be careful. I came back with 5 sticehs and a concussion. And with my camera gear. Stay out of the red light district with cameras (note. i was not there with mine either). And don't go around alone. Don't make eye contact with people who looks sketchy. Avoid shooting scary looking people too. tupper wrote in post #8189373 Im going to Amsterdam tomorrow.. should I be worried? see above Twotan wrote in post #8189389 Just be careful in Costa Rica.
