You don't. You leave it at my house.

Congrats Kevin.

Kevin, you come with us on Saturday and you can see the stitching on the top of the balloon bag (when it's 200 feet up!) Nice lens!

[Killjoy]

So? Is that YOUR winning bid? Huh? Huh? Huh?

[Hikin' Mike]

Congratulations! You'll love that lens. Hope you get the 17-40 too. That was my first 'L' lens....

No Way! I would never see it again. Alan would make up some story that I never gave it to him and he would deny everything. He knows I couldn't raise any hell without my wife finding out.

I will get it, the canyons on Kauai will have no other lens do them justice on my crop body. ( Since Abel has the full frame goodness )
Roger, the 300 would not do for the balloons. I fear the slow speed and high ISO would not make for a good shot. If you could get them just lifting off with the full flame going and lighting the faces up that would be nice.
I did find out that the older non-IS 300 F/4 lenses were quite a bit sharper than the IS version. But I need IS for one of my special activities (No, not thong watching) pics in ~1 month.

I likey at ~10 feet, nice and sharp.

With that lens, he's outside of the range that he has to stay away.

Alan is correct Roger, I can pick out details from the required 1000 feet away. I would have gotten an 800 or the "1200" but I get a little nervous and the image is all a blur.
Thanks! You guys are scaring everyone away from me :P but then they would be 1000 feet away again, hmmmmmm.
I was outvoted on getting the 17-40 too.... at least for now.

By other bidders on eBay? Or by your wife?
