have a look at the sigma 50-500 thead in this forum. A bit of a debate over the canon 400mm versus the 100-400mm zoom you might find interesting.
Gerry | Just had a look at it. I'm more confused now than I was before. I'm not in a rush so I can put some more thought into it. |

Has anyone considered the Sigma 100-300mm F4 EX IF HSM DG lens with say a 1.4 converter.
It gets a good rating and great praise on many web sites. Some goods deals are available at around £660 to £690. Worth a look!

If you do decide to buy prime long glass I would suggest that you also look at the canon 70-300IS (around 300 notes) to cover other eventualities.
