Re: Neither

Thanks Dick.

We sold a 75-300 II to help cover the cost of a 300 or 100-400, and are saving up and "making do" with the 40-150 and MC for now - but I do miss the reach of the 75-300.

Since I was using the 75-300 mostly at the long end - 275mm+ - I thought I might not miss the zoom of the 100-400 since I had the 40-150 to cover some of that range.  The speed of the 300 appeals.  I just need more experience and may end up renting to give the 300 or 100-400 a try.

Lens use and buying are moving targets to me.
