    Congrats, that's a great lens. I've shot birds with guys who have that lens and they got really great shots. Takes a TC1.4x very well and you don't lose autofocus. I think you'll be quite happy with it.

    I love the 300 f/4 (Nikon)

    Try some headshots with it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Well this is what I have so far... I've been way too busy to do any casual shoots.

    It was excellent condition for $800 except the scuff on the tripod collar. If that collar wasn't so expensive I'd consider replacing it.

    ...

    BTW, from here:

    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/Canon-L-Lens-Series.aspx

    "Did you know that Canon sells white L Series touchup paint? Although it is not cheap ($14.41 for 100g plus $8.00 or so for shipping), you can order it through Canon Parts. The part number is CY9-8078-001. The phone number to order in the US is 1-732-521-7230."
