Thanks everyone for your input, defiantly food for thought. I will defiantly grab the 100M L IS macro - But I might hire the 100-400mm and see if I can handle the size (and fit it in my back pack). Its alot of money to spend when I have not had the chance to use it/test drive it first.
Thanks again, a lot of good help!
Can only agree

Considering my main subjects (birds/wilife), the 100-400 L is a wonderful lens. Trust me, you'll be rapt!

Well after borrowing a 100-400L, I like itIt's not as heavy as I thought, although as others have said a few hours it might be a different story. So now to go shopping for the best price. So far JB-Hifi will get me one for $1997 Oz Stock. Online delivered is about $1790 so far. Any thoughts if the extra few $$ for Oz stock is worth it?
Top Buy have the 100-400 for $1,662.55 delivered.
I've bought lots of stuff off them, and everything I've gotten from them was perfect.
Except a 2X converter I ordered off them, and they sent me a Nikon one instead of a Canon one, and they came and picked it up from me and sent me the correct one in exchange.
They have the 100L macro lens for $932.65, and if you buy 2 lenses, they do a deal on the shipping cost, usually, so you could save even more.
I recently bought 2 after-market batteries for my 60D from them for about $23.00 each, and to my surprise, when the parcel arrived, it also contained a 240V charger for each battery!!
Now I have 3 chargers!

Well after a quick use this morning, love it. Just need to work out a gym membership. What's a good filter UV to help protect the glass? Also any ideas on a decent tripod for the big events?Originally Posted by hdn177
