    600mm best (cost effective) option for Canon

    I, too, couldn't justify the cost of the 600mm canon so i opted for the 300mm 2.8 with a 1.4x converter and a 2.0x converter giving me 300mm, 480mm and 600mm respectively and this used with your 7D will give you more when you take into account the 1.6x crop sensor.

    Argh, ebay rant.

    I can assure you that its not me getting excited, if capital letters and a swearword give you visions of someone frothing at the mouth i suggest you get out more !

    Argh, ebay rant.

    I'm not getting excited about it, all it is is that i use ebay quite a lot to buy and sell equipment and it would be an advantage to know who these scammers are.

    Will I regret buying ...

    I have the 120-400 and i use it as a walk about lens, i've looked into lenses offering more distance but as you have already stated, size and weight start to become an issue. So all in all the sigma's a good lens and it'll certainly do me until my ability justifies me spending a lot of money on...

    Argh, ebay rant.

    YOU WILL FIND THIS INTERESTING REGARDING DISTANCE SELLING REGS. I really don't know if this would work but i would now be inclined to state in a listing that: 1. this item has been checked and left me in perfect working order. 2. i would avise you (the buyer) to check this item WHILST...

    canon 500mm or 600mm

    Thanks, i guess renting would be one solution but as you mention the 400 f5/6, i had thought about that and perhaps using 1.4x or even a 2.0x converter but would i get as good as or at least a comparable IQ this way and as you say that would be easier on the pocket. What i really don't want to...

    canon 500mm or 600mm

    I'm after some advice regarding the 500mm and/or 600mm canon lenses. I'm currently using a siggy 120-400 os etc. which is ok for where i'm at at the moment. I mainly shoot birds from a hide in good light but i'm finding that i could really do with the extra length. Now would it be worth me...
