Canon Telephoto EF 135mm f/2.0L USM

Canon Telephoto EF 300mm f/4.0L IS USM

Also ordered a Cooperhill sensor cleaning kit.

Both lens are prime lens which should make them alot sharper then the zoom lens I've been looking at (one being the Bigma 50-500)

    And yet in your profile under "Dream Goodies" none of these things are listed.ne_nau.gif

    With the 2 primes that you bought, I think you can forget about the bigma.
    Buy a $80 Tamron 1.4 TC. That will bring you 420mm, and I don't think you'll
    regret it.

    I was looking at the 1.4tc from Canon and Sigma but hadn't thought about Tamron, any one use the tamron tc?

    I have one. It works great and allows for AF past the 5.6 apertrure limit.

    What about the sigma?

    Thanks, looks like I'll go with either the Tamron or the Kenko Pro (both getting pretty good reviews)
