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!

Blue jay.
Now you can watch that dumb episode of Big Bang Theory and question why the writers made such an effort to get equations correct but failed at getting a common US bird correct.
