I ordered a new lens.
After much deliberation and realising that saving the cash for the Canon lens I wanted (100-400mm L IS) was going to take an age, and could I really justify it? I have ordered a Sigma 120-400mm OS lens. It has some really good reviews and one Canon mag rated it 2% higher than the Canon one!! Im sure the Canon has the edge but Ive seen some fantastic images and I think its what I need for the animal shots I mainly do.

Nice one.
I'd love some L lenses but I'll certainly keep an eye out for your shots with this lens.
