Your doing just fine, you don't have to keep up with the Jones. Don't get caught up in "lens envy." Smoky Mt. Frank In a message dated 7/12/2010 6:08:52 P.M.

He had a Canon Rebel and a Sigma 120-300 lens (I was using my 100-400...no extender...its flaky operation has convinced me to put it up for sale...I may try a Canon 2X converter for stuff like that) and all the other "big fish" had 600mm f4 lenses (MSRP $9300) and larger (800mm f5.6 MSRP $12k)...undoubtedly paid for by their corporate backers. He and I were sorta like those who had brought knives to a gunfight.
