While I love my 100-400 too, if I were a hiker still I'm sure I'd rather take the 300mm f/4 and a 1.4x. Much lighter, faster at 300mm, and at least as good optically. I wish I had kept mine. tomp * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
