So if you're getting a great deal there, I'd go with option #2. You may find you really enjoy shooting birds in flight, and keep using the 400mm f/5.6L for that even after you get a long supertele down the line.

That's my conclusion too at this point.


Thanks again for all of your advice. It's been really helpful. []





Any takers on a 1D Mark III vs 7D debate? []
