    I rent big glass when I need it. I have had consistently great experiences with LensProToGo, and one of the crappiest experiences with any sort of transaction ever with BorrowLenses.

    I'm partial to the F2.8 70-200 IS II personally. It's what I rent most commonly when I have the need for reach. Will be curious how you like the 90D, as I thought about picking one up myself as a replacement body. If you ever need to borrow some glass, come on by. I've got the 24-135 F4L and the absolutely fantastic 10-22 ultra wide.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    Thanks for the offer I might take you up on that. I wish I could remember as much about photography as I did when I was in high school using my brand new rebel g. Got out of it when digital hit the scene and just got back into it in the last year and a half. I like the 90d a lot, about twice as much camera as I need. My parents had gotten a t7 when they first came out for a trip to Alaska and I went to buy a t7i, but that kid at Best Buy is a hell of a salesperson. For the price I would recommend one if you don’t plan on going mirrorless. I was tempted to go mirrorless, but I don’t think the tech is there for the price I wanted yet.

    Unpossible. High School was the age of the FTb.

    Lol I did graduate in 2004....... though the teacher did question multiple time where I got that camera and if it was stolen.

    My day-to-day lens is a Tamron 18-270 EF mount. It's a good all-purpose lens that lends itself to most situations.

    For viewing wildlife from afar, it's hard to beat the Canon 100-400 UL IS L-series. I used it to great satisfaction in Africa and it was by far the most popular lens on my Antarctica cruise 10 years ago.

    Do you have the new version or the old dust pump?

    I rented (Lens Rentals) and took some incredible shots of the space shuttle back in the day with the dust pump version of the lens. Really liked it and would like to add the new version to the stable some day.

    I bought the lens in preparation for my trip to Africa in 2009. Have been very happy with it over the years.

    So the push-pull lens. Yhea, that's the one I used for the shuttle. Very versatile.

    Yep. Took a little getting used to and I didn't like it at first but I've adapted over the years.

    I do like that canon 400, but it’s a bit more then I want to spend, but it’s tempting. I was looking at that tamaron for an everyday. Is it a giant improvement over that canon kit 80-300? The 90d came with a 18-135 I think it was and it’s does fairly ok
