I need to stay away from CL or I am going to go broke.

Going through the CL ad's I found a really decent EF 300mm 2.8 L IS up[ in Port Charlotte, The seller wanted $1771, I contacted the seller and explained that is to high, I can get one from B&H for around that price and if I don't like it I can send it back for a full refund.

So I'll make you a deal $1100 cash in hand, I try it on my body and if I like it you get the cash and I get the lens no returns.

He counter offered $1150 so I agreed drove up there tried it out handed the guy the cash he counted we shook hands and went our ways.

I got the lens a factory sun shade and a factory carrying case, not too bad of a deal at all.

Have you had to go out and play with your new acquisition? Care to share a few of the images you captured with it?

Splitpair I'm waiting for a nearby air show to take it to.

Well, there is always this to try it out upon.
A dramatic total lunar eclipse is coming. You don't want to miss it.

So, starting about 00:00 EDT on March 14. Got to be careful with those times in the article.

Edited to fix the url.

That's good to know that 2.8 lens should be able to do the job too.

Thanks
