I have the 50-500 which I think is a fantastic lens. You will enjoy that.

I'm surprised you didn't say "lending". The 50-500 is a great portable lens for "everyday" life.

Name the time I should come up and let you loose with the thing.

Nice photo. I have just got myself set up with a 40d and a 400 lens. Very exited to get out and take a few photos if the weather ever improves. Rain all day today, working all this weekend so no chance of getting out. Monday looks ok weather wise and I am on a dayp off I

An excellent first photograph with your new lens, hope to see more when you have a weather change and a day off.
