Not to mention the wife > factor! :-) Hi Sam, I currently own 10 lenses, every one made by Canon, 4 of them are L series. I already own the 200 f2.8L and the 70-200 f2.8L IS plus 1.4x and 2x Canon extenders. So you're talking to a canon convert! :) With those lenses the 300 F4L gives me no significant advantage (the 200L&1.4x is a very sharp 280/f4). I do this for myself, so I can't bill a client for the rental, beside it's almost impossible to rent them where I live anyway (bummer)... What I'm after is feedback on the three third party brands.... Thanks though... Cheers Gary This message has passed through an insecure network.
