OK, the formula is as follows for FlyingPhotog's theory

Tatt2Guy's ROI :

ROI = exp^(200). Equals 7.22(10^86!!)

This is why I always pull over for garage sales. You never know what people may be trying to dump off. Congrats on the find.

So long as they're all EF lenses (and it looks as if they are .. not sure about the off-brand teleconverters though) just go shoot with them and see what you get.

I'd be up all night with the 200 f/1.8 :cool:

Monopod FTW! It can be shot handheld though. You get used to it and develop a technique on where to hold it for best balance. I shoot a 300mm f/2.8L IS handheld most of the time (with extender as well)
