Tempting!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00005QF6T/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0033567D8&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0ZPAB2RPB90BVJJ5EVT5

L-Series for £500!

That's only a couple of quid cheaper than other places. The lack of IS would be a concern with a telephoto.

If you haven't seen this site, you should, a comparison site for cameras and lens prices, here's the prices for that lens:

And the best price on that 55-250 is £209:

That one is £180 though...

Thanks for link, bookmarked.

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Sold for £760 was just down the road too. Still way out of my price range!

How about:

PHWOAR.

Although I can see having a 300mm prime lens might be something of a PITA.... ah - what I'm shooting doesn't fit in the frame.  Hang on while I walk a few hundred metres away to make it fit.  :grin:

The guy my brother borrowed the Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens is selling it for £800. Which considering the list price (around £1200), it's a bargain.

Think I'm going to buy the one you have DH :afro:

Just have to sit wait and bide my time and wait for a deal to pop up on it as it's soo over budget!

Investing in good glass is always worth it. You'll keep it longer than you'll keep the body.
DH was selling his 500D... that would be a step up.
