  ......... he must have spent what $28 grand ?? ........ I suppose that's reasonable for a hundred years of calendars ........... 

 ........ let's all go out and spend that ......... though personally I wonder how many calendars I'll be needing!!

Are you trying to rile me up?

Basically it appears you only looked at the one photograph based on your comment.

Rob is not the only poster there, and the calendar reference basically was for the collection of posts there. The reason I mentioned Rob is not only because he is an excellent birder, but also because his compositions and PP are second to none composing, framing and PP skills.

There are plenty of people in that topic which shoot with the EF 100-500L and the EF 100--400L, with excellent results as well.

  I've looked at his photos ...... they're very good ...... what else is there to say?  ........ I'm happy for him !

 ....... for the rest, it is clear that we have a tour de force of dyed in the wool Canon users here, or at least two .... who can't see any other point of view ......... they are right and they have "other peoples photos" to prove it ........ 

........ so for whatever the reasons for my thinking, right or wrong, or shooters of other brands that don't think in the same way as others ....... (and there are very many of them including Mac) .............. I ask you politely to accept them for what they are .......... even if they are not your's !........ 

 ...... so carry on and good shooting !!


Bye bye!!
