TDI07: A new lens

This day in 2007:

My new “Africa” Lens arrived.  The EF 100-400L (the big white one) side by side with my existing EF 70-300 lens. 

It is twice the size, twice the weight, more than twice the cost and for Africa, more than twice as valuable.

The lens was invaluable for getting good upclose shots of animals.  The shots I got cant even be compared to those who only had a standard 3x zoom.  At times I wished it was smaller and lighter but I was always glad I had it.

I am not sure what to do with it now.  It seems like a bit of overkill so I might consider replacing it with a 70-200L lens??
