Thanks, I love threads like this!

I've always wanted a 500 f4 L IS so I figured a (much) cheaper 4.5 version would be a nice way to figure out if I'll use it enough to justify dropping the extra $.

If the lens is representative of its design, I don't think you will be disappointed. Granted, you might feel the need for IS as handholding it requires good steadiness. If you will have it tripod mounted, then that is not a big deal. Also, depending on what you like to photograph, you might find out that the AF drive speed is very unremarkable.

Here is another one taken with the 500 f/4.5 from the other day: a Hoodlum Vergaser hen.

Dear Breitling:

The images you posted most recently in this thread are terrific. You and your 500 are definitely cooking.

Best regards,

Roman
