Nice, very nice. Congratulations :)
Wow - that is some lens Sir
Good stuff Ian!
And kenco - I know what you mean. I was speaking to one of my workmates the other day (he's also into his photography) and dropped into the conversation the cost of the 70-200mm new - the rest of them nearly fell off their chairs!

I think your trying to compensate for something there Ian
;)
That is a big one sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Have fun with it m8.
Superb lens, you'll have fun with that :)
Congrats on the purchase Ian :thumbs:
Im sure you wont need to worry too much about the weight isssue ... your pockets must be considerably light enough now to compensate! ;)
Look forward to seeing all the pics!

It was the only bird that made itself known when i was aimlessly waving the lens about ! lol pure luck that was ! lol
So that bird you wanted a new lens to get a shot of last year - is it still around or did you buy the lens hoping it will come back :)
