So, I just ordered the 100-400L. [img]/emoticons/emotion-2.gif[/img] I just want to thank everyone for your posts, they were very helpful. I came close yesterday, but after thinking about it today, I decided to buy it.
But right before buying it, I ran everything by my wife, giving her some of the background. Paul, BTW, my wife is also a "doggie (and kitty) doc"[img]/emoticons/emotion-2.gif[/img]. So we basically hadthe following conversation:
Wife: So a lot of the people on your web thingy have this lens and they all love it?
Me: Ahh, yep. A lot of them have it and seem to use it a lot.
Wife: And you've seen a bunch of pictures and they are all great?
Me: Yeah. Mostly birds and planes, but we should be able to use it for other stuff.
Wife: And we can have it now, right before our trip?
Me: That is true.
Wife: And it has more zoom than the other one? Isn't that the point of a zoom lens?
She gives me in a slightly confused and somehow disappointed look.
Me: I'll go order the lens.
[img]/emoticons/emotion-2.gif[/img] I am excited. Thanks again for all your help.
