Jon,
This may sound like a really dumb question, keep in mind though my previous camera was a disposable. Ha! You said you " were glad to have the big aperture when we were in the jungle, where the available light is much lower." If you only had an F/4 or F4-5.6 would it have made you miss out on the shot all together?
I am just starting out and shopping for a longer reach than my 24-105 and your statement has me wondering if I should wait a bit longer and put some more $ together for a 2.8 instead of a F/4 with reach.

Rocco, thanks very much. I

I know it's been a long wait, but I'm back from the Galapagos islands. It's a truly amazing place with some unique wildlife that shows no fear of humans, like this Galapagos Sea Lion on Espanola island.Originally Posted by Jonathan Huyer

The blue-footed boobies were dancing to attract mates, and a waved albatross was nesting nearby:

I think they make a lovely couple:

Thanks for looking!

That's fantastic Andy --- thanks for posting! Española Island is easily one of the most amazing places on Earth. I hope the rest of your trip was equally rewarding. Please post a link if you have more pictures elsewhere.
By the way here is that photo I got from someone else on our trip, of the Galapagos Flycatcher coming up to inspect my lens:

Great pics Andy...[Y]
I know you've found it, Jonathan, but for anyone else who wants to see more, my Galapagos gallery is here. I'm adding more as I get time, including some underwater shots taken with the G12.Originally Posted by Jonathan Huyer
By the way, it looks like that flycatcher wants to use your lens hood as a nest box.
