Great shots, Ed.

DC, will you take payments? (j/k)
That is pretty much one of the setups I was using today. The first reserve I had the 500 and the TC on the MK3, and the 400 with the TC on the 1D. At the next reserve I swapped. I've gotten great results (as well as some failures, I won't lie!) from both cameras. That monster glass makes the difference, that's for sure. I would highly recommend doing what I did, and rent one for a long weekend, and go out and play!
