Please let us know, especially the 400-800, I am considering that one.

I'll be curious to hear what you think of the balance of the 100-400 f/4.5. I'm waiting as fast as I can for my favourite store to get a demo copy so I can go it, feel the heft and balance, and fail to convince myself that I don't need it...

It sounds like a good fit between the 50-150 and the 400-800 (which I admit is heavy enough that I sometimes choose not to take it).

A few quick & dirty images from the new lens. Horrid, gloomy conditions, but the lens really shines. Well balanced & easy to handle. I think the thing I enjoy most is that the zoom is effortless - a simple twist to go from 100 to 400!
