Sounds like you've got some good glass on the way. You may want to add a teleconverter to your collection to reach out a little farther and catch those animals that hang back in their pens.

I may be up for Sunday... gotta wait until later in the week to commit. I haven't been out to the zoo for a few weeks, so I'm due. I've got a new lens on order, but I don't think it'll be here in time for this weekend. Maybe I'll get pleasantly surprised!

Pippin I just read your post and I think I saw you. I said hi while we were at the coyote and bobcat site. I had the 300 f/2.8L IS with the camo cover.

There was alot of photogs out there today. I finally got some shots of the cubs.

Hey David it was nice meeting you. I hope you enjoy your new VR beauty. I'm looking forward to seeing some pics with that bad boy.

You folks probably don't know me. I too was also at the zoo this afternoon. Right now I'm still in the watch the lion cubs phase. They grow awful fast and I like to get them before they get too big. Afternoons seem to be the best time for the cubs to be playful. Having said all that, I'll attach one of the better lion shots from today.

Great shot Eric! Looks like we might have been standing pretty close to each other when you took that shot. I guess I should start wearing my TPF shirt when I go out.
