Hey Roland,


Sorry about the delay!


EOS 7D: 300mm f/2.8L IS. Circ. Pol., Monopod, Very Mild PP

The End!


I Hope You Like!


C&C Welcome!

Wow, so great shots, Rich! Obviously the 300/2.8 works perfectly with the 7D's AF, even with an extender.


No problem with the delay. I've been extremely busy these days.


Best, Roland

Well, thank you so much to all for your great support. I still need to think about this issue. Both the 70-200/2.8 and the 300/2.8 have their pros and cons for me...
