Goodbye my friend
5

After 10 years of faithful and reliable service, this bad boy on the left will go up for sale. It has traveled with me from safaris to stadiums, seeing the light of Masai Mara, football and rugby grounds around Europe as well as kids league football pitches.

I will miss the sharpness, the contrast, the sturdiness and AF lightning fast speed.

However, I will not miss the 6kg that I carried around all these years and its size.

So long, my friend and I hope you will find a new home and an owner that will look after you the way I did.

P.S: All of a sudden, my Think Tank Airport security bag looks far too big when I put the 400mm DO MKII in the place of the 400mm 2.8 IS. I may have to downsize and go for a smaller roller
