I could not agree more. I am in the processor of selling some gear that's gathering dust to help save for a 400 MK2. Great Stuff........ Max,

First we figured what was the best lens to get for my summer baseball trip on the east coast. We ended up with the choice of the 400mm 2.8 IS. Then we talked a little about price and how much it would be to rent and the possibility of buying used and reselling. In the end Max found an online rental site that delivers to FedEX which inevitably saved my life! =] So heres the break down price wise for everyone. Rental: $80/d X 8d = $640+tax Buy & Re-Sell: ~$5500+S&H (Hopes of breaking even minus S&H) Online Rental (Max's Suggestion): $319/w + S&H! So basically I went from paying over $600 to just paying $320+S&H!! Definitely saved my budget. Much thanks goes to Max for lending his time and helping hand! 2 heads are better than 1! =] Wow,
