Thanks guys.
I think some thanks and credit should go to the gentleman who lent me his lense for the day. To bad the photographer had the settings wrong, :-[ ::)

Excellent stuff!  :o

100 - 400 mm L I suppose? I'd better never touh one of these, because my arsenal of lenses is costly as it is...

But pretty darn amazing shots mate!  :)

70-200mm L
I'll be honest its a bit out of my budget right now and while really good, I found the 200mm a bit restricting and needed the extra 100mm at times. But I wont complain. It saved some shots that would have been unusable with mine.
I also had a chance to use his 400mm L prime, but again just being 400mm was really restrictive. See the close-up's in my other thread.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I just invested in a 70-200 f2.8 Sigma... Canon makes such nice lenses, but they surely don't come cheap. For the price of the Canon 70-200 f2.8 L or 100-400 L, I have a f2.8 24-70 and f2.8 70 - 200 lens now. I needed them for my current shoots.

But the L's sure remain nice toys...
