Hi all, Ive just got back from a trip to South Africa. And as a little thank you I want to create a photo book/album for the people I stayed with there. Can anyone recommend a good place to have one done. Ive searched the web but most of them are not very customisable. Any help is appreciated. Gav

Thanks Comfortably, I think the 120-400 does have OS but ill have to check. I do realise that the Canon 100-400 would probably be better but at the current moment i dont know i could justify paying double the price . Ill take a look at the 150-500 too. Gav
