Thanks Paulnj & Loupey

Thanks Paulnj and Loupey for the lens recommendation, I finally ordered and received the Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM lens.

Here are a few test pictures I took today after work (first pics with new lens). I did very little P/P, just a very slight sharpen and a vertical crop.

Cool, Copy! You're gonna love that lens real quick. I hardly ever take mine off (except to put different tubes or the 2x in between of course ).

It is super sharp, the IS is wonderful, and the price is a relative bargain. If one is looking for a solid Canon prime telephoto, it (and the 400mm f/5.6L prime) really can't be beat on the performance-to-price ratio. All the other primes in Canon's telephoto lineup cost 3 to 5 times more for, what a 1 stop faster lens or 100mm more telephoto?!

Can't wait to see your upcoming posts :thumbsup:
