After being caught with a short lenght last week while trying to capture a Kestral and chick, I went past a camera shop today that has a second hand section and it had a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS lens in the window. You can see whats coming:cuckoo:, as I looked closer I was grabbed and mugged by the shop. I was now empty of pocket but I had a bag that contained a lens. So I ran home just like a nautghy school boy so I could try my new toy.
Will try and post some picks with it when I take something of merit!!!

I hate being weak willed :lol:

But that should be it now for me, as I have a focal coverage of 10 - 400mm. Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 24-70mm, Canon 50mm, Canon 70-200mm and now Canon 100-400mm and all lenses will work with my EOS3.

I think you need something to cover the 20-24mm gap. How abouut a 16-35mm? ;)

Enjoy.

Do you know, that happened to me 3 times a few weeks ago.

I have been told :bat: that I must now avoid any form of shop that might stock photographic equipment, at least until the credit cards have emptied out a bit.

Looking forward to the photos........
