The current version of this lens can be had from B and H photo here in the U.S. for less than 150 bucks! I'd love to upgrade, but so far, this has suited my needs. I may rent a canon 400 5.6 for my trip to Sanibel Island coming up in March.<BR/><BR/>I hope it rains in OZ soon!<BR/><BR/>BTW..I was on a plane from Chicago to Columbus Ohio and sat next to an Aussie living here in Ohio. We chatted for the whole flight and reminisced about Australia. Great country.<BR/><BR/>TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-86054828723024866522008-01-31T05:09:00.000-05:002008-01-31T05:09:00.000-05:00These are great bird shots!

If we went to our dam, we'd have about 20 gallons of water left - we're nearly empty!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://davids-pics.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">David Webb: Photographer</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926083515508779822noreply@blogger.com
