Thank for the feedback.
SS319, did you really serve on the Becuna?
SSBN659 for me 6 deployments on her, we had is easy compared to you guys.

Hello All,
Hopefully someone can help with this question, there's a lot of wisdom in this group. :)
Anyway, I do about a 3rd of my birding from the water.
I use a 12' canoe or a 9' kayak. Both have been good for some things, but I'd just like more stability.
I just saw a 9' pontoon boat for that wasn't very expensive and it'll take an electric trolling motor.
Does anyone have any feedback on this type of watercraft?
I figured I'd mount a tripod in the front somehow, I've rigged them on the other boats without much trouble.
Thanks a lot for reading and any help you can offer.
Have a good one.
Tim

Hi JC,
I have a Sekonic l-308s Light Meter I'm not using any more.
I can let it go for $120 if your interested.
If you'd like to see photos or have any questions please PM me.
Thanks,

Hi Jack,
I went from the 60D to the 6D.
I really liked it, but since I do a lot of BIF, the focus just wasn't up to the task.
I then got the 7DII and love it.
I carried both for a while, but sold the 6D eventually.
I do miss the FF and I'm looking for a 5DII now if I can find a good price.
If you're not doing a lot of action shots I'd give the 6D a look and when the MKII coms out the prices should come down too.
Good luck in your search.
Tim

I paid $1.25 two days ago central Ohio.
I just saw the same station has it at $1.57 today.
It can go a little lower, as I believe more people benefit from the lower prices than suffer from it.
Sorry to those who suffer either way.

I haven't even looked yet, but I would guess it is.
I hope to stay below 3K for the purchase, with a target of around 2400.
I know I'm asking a lot.
I will check that lens out thou. :)
Thanks

Thanks for the input everyone.
I must have waffled back and forth a dozen times already. :)

Thanks for the input.
I guess I'm convinced on the 300 2.8 IS, but was hoping to save a little $$, even thought I should know better.
I was already looking for the 1.4xII TC.
I also want to try the TC on the 400 5.6 too.
I didn't before when I had one, but since I got the 7D2 it feels like it might be worth a try.

I hear that. I really have to work at the 400 5.6 sometimes....my hands are a little to shaky. :)

Thank you,

Hi, I already have the 24-105L and 100-400L among others so, I think my zoom needs are covered. I just sold the Tamron 150-600 about a week ago. The 400 f5.6 might have spoiled me, but I just didn't like the images I produced with it.
Congratulations on your 300, where did you get find it?
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm debating the purchase of one of these three lenses;
Canon 300mm f2.8 IS v.I, 300 f2.8 v.I, 400 f4 DO.
I've been reading reviews for days regarding these lenses and there aren't many from people who own either of the 300s and the 400.
I'm finding the 300 IS costs little more, and the other two a close.
Wildlife is most of what I do with a lot of BIF (I have the 400 f5.6 which I love).
Thanks for you input.
Tim
