Thanks!

It looks like you have your 300mm for sale?

Long story, but my wife and I ended up with two of them, so one has to go. I'll be keeping the other one until the day I win the lottery and can get the 300 2.8 :)

... with 2 bodies?

I'm pretty much a "dad with a camera" shooting my sons soccer (9 year olds) from the sidelines. Usually I use my 7D with the 300mm prime on a monopod. So far so good. The parents like the pictures I make available to them and I get great memories for myself. Of course with the 300mm, I miss the odd shot much closer to the goal.

So, since my 2nd camera is in the mail, how crazy would it look seeing a parent at a youth soccer game with a second body around his neck? :)

I probably know the answer already and am pretty sure I'd never have the guts to try it, but what do you guys think?

Thanks!

They will not think you look stupid if you capture the image they want, before long they will welcome you with open arms - :)
