Thanks Denis.

I have a 70-300L but am always 100mm too short :)
Guess going to 400 would mean another 100 too short...

Decisions...

bobobird:there,s always birds too far out for whatever lens we have. LOL just the nature of the beast.

So true.

That said - the 400 is an almost certainty just for birds and wildlife.

Nice set Denis.  I like the Oriole and the Swallow in particular, but not really a bad one in the bunch!  Hope to see you out there soon.
