Graynomad:
A quality telephoto for my nature shots. Almost as much for that one lens as it was to replace all that hardware!
Here's my last lens purchase
A 400mm f4 DO, $7000 near new.
For nature there's nothing like a shit-hot tele lens.

I used to have a Canon 200mm f/1.8 which is a similar built lens, really big and stubby, not as modern as this thing. When the used price on it went to $4k on eBay after it was discontinued I sold it off. The only piece of technology equipment I ever made a profit on. (bought it for $2K used when they were still in production).
