lens rental for the goose hunt.

Postby teul2 » Thu Jan 28, 2010 3:46 pm

Looking at renting the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM for the goose hunt.
What yall think? Will it get the job done or should I get something else?

Gordon, your gona have to show me some stuff too!

Its a good all around lens.... if you have light.
Should do good for the goose shoot
Sometimes you just have to close your eyes, count to ten, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you wouldn't look good in prison stripes... and just smile at that dumbass and walk away.

7 day rental plus insurance was around $115. I paid $1100 for the lens, and they reimbursed the rental fee. Lens was rated 9 out of 10 on their quality scale.
