I figured with the 300f4 being quite late, I'd just say 'sod it' and buy the 40-150 combo. I had a think about it and decided the 40-150 might be quite versatile, as for some trips I could take it rather than the 75 f1.8 and 75-300 (approximately the same weight).

GREAT rationalization! I mean, seriously. Excellent.

Well, that wasn't the only rationalisation, I have more.

I am kinda impressed I held out this long though, as it's also ideal for my indoor sports.

Mostly though I blame Dennis and Vass. They've been posting too many bird photos with that combo.

I'm hoping to get out on the kayak this summer too, so a weather sealed tele will be very useful.

And no doubt the built-in floaties will be a help when you capsize! LOL!

Have fun!
