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.

Ah, now you raise the indoor sports. I thought of that earlier and how handy the weather proofing should be in case of some terrible multi-wheel tangle where blood flies, but my sensibilities were too delecate to mention it.

But now you bring it up…

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

My mum used to give me belt over the ear if I started blaming others for leading me astray! Weak, martin. (Retires shaking oscillating the bean in a horizontal plane, sadly.)
