Last week before touring Torrey Pines State Reserve with Herb and Lynn, I almost purchased a Canon EF 400mm f5.6 L lens but didn’t. When I told Herb the story he scoffed and said (rightly so) that I already have too many lenses many of which I don’t use.

He suggested that my money would be better spent on getting a Canon Digital Rebel XTi (EOS 400D) to replace my aging 20D.
