Haha Mike, I must say I really like a good fight, but I'll skip this one due to my shoulder injury [:P]

Okay [] It wasn't really my idea to start a debate. To be honest...if I had the money I would have done the same [] And I'm not really using cheap gear either [A] I just happen to have encountered such a thing during a bird of prey show...Me and my 450D and 70-200 f4L next to a guy with a 1D3 and 100-400 and I just had to make better pictures...and I did hihi....at least I think so [8-|] But perhaps it was also that he was acting like a giant [edited by moderator], full of himself....


Anyway...I said I wouldn't start the debate []

Hmm apperently you don't really mind the f4 aperture of your 300mm since the 500 f4L is in your list. Also will the 300mm f2.8 be much better for you than the 300mm f4L? Or would you have to sell the 300mm f4L to buy one of both? If I was photographing birds etc, no doubt I would go for the 500mm f4L. Anyway I'm interested in the outcome! Have fun Brendan! Sorry Mike for not giving you a good fight [:P]
