    Ben, #3 is my favorite, but they are all superb. I did some looking back on posts you have made and your pictures have come a long way since you started back into photography. I must say that you are doing well, well enough to be considered top brass :pimp

    I'll bite: you're shooting f/2.8 with what?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I just noticed that you've been shooting with a 300/2.8 you dog. Since you don't own a 300/2.8 and Ron Reznick does I would say you have been using his lens.


    I want that lens so bad I can't tell you. It is a superior piece of equipment. I am very jealous. Just don't try his 500/f4. That will ruin you for life. Its will alos be very hard on the bank balance.

    Sigma 300/2.8 is a bargain, unless you're going longer than 300 ne_nau.gif
