Hey,
I've been looking at a lot of your birding work, especially the eagles and other game, and I would like to get a lens that would get closer to the action. I have the Canon EF 70-200mm F/4L and I was thinking of getting the Canon lens extender 2x III that should work for that lens, but I have some money to get a better lens, so I think it would be worth while just getting a better lens(?).
I have about $1,500 and as much as I'd like to spend it on the new 100-400mm that was just reviewed and I think I just missed the chance to get a Canon refurbished because they sold out of them between yesterday and today, not to mention that I was getting back and forth information about that lens (the first generation).
What lens should I consider getting in the "L" family that would be good for birding, realizing my budget? I'm willing to look into getting a used version, including the first generation of the 100-400mm F/4.5L?
OR perhaps I should just get the the extender for $450 because I already have a great lens
Oh ya, I'm not stuck on getting a zoom lens - I'd be okay with a prime lens, just price is the issue often with prime lenses.
Thanks.
