huh, 300mm prime is still a dream lens for many. And yes, the 500 range is beautiful but not so easy to handle due to size, weight and focal length. I had seen a caucasian with two 600mm with him (one sling on and the other on his hand). He was a huge and muscular man, and i supposed weight was not really an issue for him.
I dunno what he was shooting, but I thought he was really serious into photography.

If one can go to F1, I think the 300 F4 would be good enough from the grandstand.

It is always good to start off with a 300mmf/4 or 400mm/f5.6 then go longer and bigger as experience go by.
Having a long lens means need more skill to target the subject and handle/moving around.

But the hunger for longer lens is so attractive: reach, isolation of background, more eye-level shots and sharpness.

But, i will stick with my 300mmf/4 for a couple more years for casual shooting and focus on my macro-photography.

I think you can start a class with your current skill level for macro.:thumbsup:

Yes, long lenses is not easy to handle. i shot with 85 1.2 for weddings. it was really difficult to handle given the tight framing and stability. I scaled down to 50 1.2 as a result.

Above all, i still love my contax. I have a spare zeiss 60 2.8 (Japan made). you want to try?

For marco, there are so many wishlist and project in my mind, just lack of time.

Now still in love with my 50f1.2....really preferred it than my 85f1.4.
