1. my inner vision calls for 400mm. coz 500mm is too long, and 300mm is too short. ie i dont want 500mm, i dont want 300mm. i only want 400mm.
2. the dream lens is Canon EF 400mm/f4 DO USM IS
3. any kind of 400/2.8 is too heavy, too expensive. any kind of 400/5.6 is too slow. there is tamrom 400/4 but that one is manual focus. i dont want 300/2.8+1.4x tc coz its not a pure 400mm. AFS200-400/f4 VR G is too heavy, too expensive. minolta 400/4.5 is still not f4. and the AF is slow. sigma 50-500 contains the 400mm but its too slow (5.6). any kind of xx-400mm zoom i dont want coz its not a pure 400mm prime. (and all of them end at 5.6 anyway) and the 70-200+2x doesnt cut it either (f5.6, not pure 400mm) i have searched and there is no third party lens maker that makes a pure 400mmf4 autofocus lens.
4. so does is mean i got to no choice but to suck thumb and force myself to pay and buy the canon EF 400f4 DO? or wait until either tamron/tokina/sigma come out with their own version of 400mm/f4? which is like..well, probably never, u know.. :angel:
