Awesome photo, what is that, cheese in his hand?

BTW, I could be not thinking right, but if you don't mind investing in a 1.4x TC there doesn't seem to be any reason to go with the 400 over the 300 that I can see. Can somone clue me in? I see a lot of people with this lens so I'm curious.

thx...it's a cotton-top tamarin eating a piece of cut out carrot...

i choose 400mm so that it gives me 560mm with 1.4xtc for stationary bird shots where mf is still possible... and with 400mm pure glass, the AF is lightning fast with good light.. excellent for flight shots.... lastly, i carry a tripod all the time...

cheers...

I always wanted one as a pet, but parents told me in Canada you can't keep them in the houses. Wonder if I could get one now. Would be great for testing out new lenses (macro especially) and it would be one cute creature (I always had a thing for lizzards.) I am allergic to cats, but I would think a lizzard would be fine?

dude, go for it! That would make for some real nice pics!

I like geckos too, if you could find a real neat colored gecko, or one of those colorful lizards would make cool macro shots too.

I want to get a green tree python and take pics of that, but my mom wont let one of those in the house.... i wonder why

Gecko! That's the name of the one I love I think. I remember my parents bringing a book on one home from Hawaii when I was much younger (maybe 5-6.)

I think you need a special breed and need some lamps and need to take care of them. I guess I'll have to research more. I'm also not sure if I could get one at a pet store in Canada.

Well, there are plenty of them down here, and many wild ones. Iguanas are wild in miami, and i tried to catch a few, but it was harder than it looked...
I was only using my hands tho... if i had a castnet, i could just throw it right on top. The little ones were about 6 inches long, and were BRIGHT green. pretty neat.

Maybe you could plan a trip to fla, adn get some lizards, and have a nice shoot! haha

Oh and ya, definately do some research, from what i know about snakes, it is not too hard to take care of reptiles, and once you look it up i think it will be okay. just check on having them in canada.
You might need a lamp and leave it on all the time when it is cold, so you prob couldnt have them in your room...

let me know what you find out

btw, cat allergies suck. im sorry. i am alergic too, but realllllyyyyy want one..

Hehe, for sure. My room ranges from 22 (72 degrees faherenit) degrees celsius to 30 degrees celsisus (86 degrees faherenit) at all times, because of all the heat generating electronics I have, so perhaps it would be okay, not sure.

Yeah, I think that might be the only PJ's that sells them (I assume your talking about the PJ'S at yorkdale, the huge one.)

Great photos, but honestly, the out of focus leaves in the second photo really sore on my eyes, very bright and satured.
