Just for some side info, here are the Dutch (Netherlands) prices...


The new 300mm: 6500 EUROS


The new 400mm: 10000 EUROS





And let me add one thing. Renting the "old" 300mm would cost you 30 Euro a day. And renting the "old" 400mm would cost you 50 Euro a day. (Second days are 50%)


I think that you can rent quite a bit before you reach the 20% off marker of the new lenses... hint hint hint []
