[QUOTE="recreationalbirding, post: 3234824, member: 120087"] Dave, Now I do not wonder anymore... Oh my. I must have a screw loose. The old 500/4 was great. Actually it was so good, I couldnt resist the temptation of getting the new 600/4 ii, since the weight is about the same. Have sold the old 500 after just a few weeks, and am now waiting for the new lens to arrive. Dealer wont get it until somewhere around the 30th though, so it'll be a tough time waiting. Only problem is I was thinking about upgrading my 2007 $5k-ish worth of Toyota. And now dough went to camera gear instead. Not sure about my priorities in life. But hopefully I'm in the right forum for choosing lens over car. Not sure what I want to say with this post. Just bubbling and tickling inside, after having made an irrational choice in life. I feel the need to share the moment. I'm sure you understand... ;) Will get back with a small report in beginning of July. [/QUOTE]
