Well I stopped by the Greenwood store tonight cuase we were in the area and HH@ said they had some acrylic canada hammer on sale for $35. I don't really have a need for one but thought I would try it out and see what I thought. So I go up to the counter and say, "can I blow that canada hammer please." DFC answers me. " No, that isn't hygenic or something like that. That is it. I offically hate the greenwood GM now. They always seem to not have what I want and their waterfowl selection always sucks. now this.  |

I always keep a bottel of Mi-T-Mist call cleaner in my call bag. The Sportsman in Lafayette uses the same stuff. Some of those calls go for $200 now so you should be able to try them out. To bad, Gander has let me down too.
bggoosekiller: another call? You trying to catch up w/me?

I don't really want another call and I doubt I would have bought it but you don't know unless you try.

Don't want another call? Did you bump your head or something? I got two more on the way. I am keeping an eye out for the mail man.

Adam,
Which lens are you looking at? EFS 100-400 IS, or the L glass? Right now Canon is giving a $100 rebate on certain lenses.

Are you talking about the rebate or a L series 100-400 lens? Yes they have a 100-400L IS lens, it run around $1,400-$1,500 new, check out www.bhphoto.com, and search for it. Awesome lens, what most professionals use, if not the L, the EFS 100-400 IS is a great lens also, it runs around $600 new. Here is the link for the 100-400 L IS lens, www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/162616-USA/Canon_2577A002_100_400mm_f_4_5_5_6L_IS_USM.htmlHere is the link for the EFS 100-300 IS lens, www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/397663-USA/Canon_0345B002_70_300mm_f_4_5_6_EF_IS.html |

my bad, I reread what I typed. I mean t to say I didn't think they had a non-L series 100-400 lens. Which they don't just the 70-300. I am wanting the L 100-400. Do you have one of them, I have heard nothing but good about them.

I don't have the 100-400L, I've also heard nothing but good things about them, I have the second lens listed there, the EF 70-300 IS, it is also a great lens, gets most everything I could ever want, but that 400 would ne nice sometimes. If you can swing the price, it is definitely worth the money. The L glass is so clear! What camera are you running? I am running the EOS 30D, it is nice for the high speed photos! I bought the additional grip extension as well, it was almost a must for vertical photos.
