If I had a job which required a long lens, I would look at the rental possibilities, as I often do. However on a holiday weekend, sitting on the porch, noticing the nuthatch family, I simply reach for what is available and enjoy the challenges which Mr. Herr faces on a more regular basis. I enjoy the discovery of difficulty and requisite need for practice. Manual focus with the Canon lenses seems near impossible for me. Auto focus on these flitting little creatures also seems a waist of time.
