Fantastic capture Jeff and all the other great photos in your gallery very nice colors, lighing, comp and details great photo! I have a question what is your thoughts on the 100-400mm? I am wanting to buy one and was wondering what you think of it, again great photo. #5941166

Jeff Robinson May 19, 2008
Thanks Hayden! The 100-400L IS quickly became my favorite lens. It is rugged, has great clarity and I use it for both close-up and long distance work. In today's world of digital we typically keep our lenses and upgrade the body. Having said that,this lens (it's not cheap) will always serve you well and I think it is a very worthwhile investment!
