Thanks for the lovely comments, everyone! And Bob, you're a partner in this for selling me the 100-400 L lens at a price I could afford! It's my most treasured possession and most used lens, both for telephoto and macro. I don't suppose you'd have an MP-E 65 mm or Sigma 105 macro lens you'd like to sell next...? Just let me be the first to know whenever you're selling something! #9055221
