Thanks for all your help here guys

I'll tell them to go ahead with a 350D, and who knows, if the photography bug really gets them, then they'll have fun upgrading (although some of the prices of lenses look a little scary to a penniless student like me) :shock:

Pff, don't know why I figured such lens existed, I should have a break and stop telling BS for a week or two ...

The current Canon 400mmL F2.8 IS Prime lens costs £5.5k

the real problem with the 'old' 100-400 IS (L series) is that it might have some 'tunneling' effect near 100 mm... but being an L series, i'd guess its pretty low.

how do you like your set of lenses SDK? it seems you usually carry 2 cameras with you... which would be nice, i have to admit... no need to change lenses while out...

I don't use my second camera body much, I only bought it as a backup for my Pro wedding photography.

The Canon 400mm F2.8 L IS is a gem of a lens, I will probably sell my 100-400L in a couple of years for one.

^This reminds me of the photo @ world cup where all the photographers have basukas like that......... :shock:

*edit* I can't find the world cup ones, but the olympic scene is similar.

Ohh god it's huge ... I also remember some guys two years ago @ Hockenheimring for the DTM had that type of lens.

Can't imagine the price of a filter o_O
