I’m off there in four weeks, trying to convince ‘er indoors that it will be money well spent. 😀

I did the T6 flight over in Carlsbad, California a couple of years ago…..what can I say…………..stunning:D

Did all the usual aerobatic stuff, even attacked a passing Cessna with a combat break….gun button linked to sound effects in my headset.

My missus got this picture during take off, but missed the victory roll over the airfield on my return coz she was nattering….

I had quite a lot of hands on too.

Worth every single penny twice over…and I smiled for a week afterwards too..:eek:

Jessops price £1150, Kerso £870 inc delivery………

I think the guy you spoke to is incorrect, but thats just what other forums say.

Have a read over on POTN, he is a member there, and will even phone you for a chat.

Got my 100-400 from him nearly 3 years ago, and I still remember my bottom muscles going into spasm when sending a stranger over £800…..:eek:

I used a 300D and 100-400mm IS L series for two years and was more than happy with the upgrade from a 75-300 non IS.

You gotta put quality in to get quality out…so you’ll find a massive improvement in quality, plus that extra reach.

IS helps a great deal for fast panning or low light situations, but it can’t do miracles. You will get more keepers, but smooth panning is still required.

My recent upgrade was to get a 400D for a bit more resolution, but I’m keeping my 100-400L for the foreseeable future.

I took a flight in this, last September, during a family vacation to California. It was a 1 hour flight, and I got to take the controls. I now have a grand total of 1/2 hour of stick time. I still get pumped when I think about it.

Ditto for me…………..:D

I took the one hour flight in May 2005…smiled for a week
