[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 234132, member: 9521"] I'm strongly contemplating this lens as a Montana housewarming present (Coming from San Diego, I'm gonna need all the warmth I can get). And due to this nice little jump in house prices here in SD, la Hefe gave me the green light for the 500mm 4/f. Truth be told, I'm not sure I've got the brass to carry around a lens like that. In addition, I've never used anything beyond 400mm so I can't say for certain whether 500mm is overkill or not. So I'm back to pondering the 80-400mm again. Which brings me to my next question - would you find an additional 100mm useful or is 400mm more than you need and you find yourself backing off that top number? [/QUOTE]
