    Thanks Glenn—That’s a well organized page with helpful info on lenses.
    Just a follow up question: the 300mm and 400mm–are about the same price.
    Would one not get more bang for their buck purchasing the 400mm?

    What lens would you recommend for bird photography for those who dont have
    the budget for this lens. My Sigma 70-200 2.8 is too short and everyone I
    speak to tells me to stat clear of teleconverters.

    Hi Glenn–Thanks for much for the You-tube video. it was great and I’d love
    to get the lens. I’ll have to say the price is kind of a show-stopper. What
    would you suggest is the best equivelant in the $1000-2000 range. Is this
    one you might consider Tamron SP 150-600 Di VC USD lens video.?? Just
    wondering…I’ll check out your website..maybe you have suggestions there
    too. Thanks again

    what is your opinion on the new super zoom cameras that fit in your
    pocket.. Panasonic has one with a 700 mm optical zoom for 500 bucks this
    not a bridge camera either it is a pocket camera… How much difference
    does the crop on a full frame sensor make….. I think they could build a
    sight out side the lens so you can see the target… Kinda like finding the
    target looking through the barrel…impossible

    Hi Glenn, it would be really nice, if you could do a comparison video
    between the Canon 400mm f/5.6 and the 300mm f/4.0 is with the 1.4
    teleconverter and which one is better for wildlife, if you have to chose
    just one lens (+ teleconverter) . Thank you

    Wow that’s quite a big one indeed! … I guess that huge lens hood at the
    end makes it look even bigger.. :-p

    I wish I could own this someday, or a 400 2.8. But…. with a price like
    that… it’s almost like, buy a new car… or buy a lens, lol. But, a
    lens could return money, while a car will lose value/cost money. I’d want
    to get insurance on something like this though….

    Good review Glenn. I love my old 600 but that 3lb difference and better
    balance is actually enough to make me want to upgrade.

    Nice video , but I will go with 500mm for ( $2400 + weight ) and with a
    little crop it’s 600mm :)

    Thanks for the review. So what is the total weight of the 600mm and 7D?
    How long can you hand hold it without getting tired? You look as if you’ve
    been getting some good arm workouts. 🙂
    I seriously want one of those bad boys, but I fear it will sit at home
    while my 400mm is out with me in the woods. :(

    Love all your vids and reviews. That lens is truly drool worthy but 12K?
    If only… I will be on the lookout for what you shot with it while
    there in the Amazon. I’m sure you came back some amazing captures as
    always.

    wow, you just picked up that lens with the body mount in the beginning of
    video, that 7D must have a good built!
