Big Guns

A friend asked about the equipment we brought to Laguna Seca. Thanks to my good friend Derek, we had plenty of glass!

I rented the 300mm F/2.8L again, but this time added a 2x converter, making the lens a 600mm f/5.6 equivalent. Derek and I each brought a 24-70mm f/2.8L. The other three white lenses are, left to right, his new 70-200mm f/2.8L IS (which ROCKS!), his older 70-200mm f/4L, his 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L (which also ROCKS!), and his new 1.4x converter. That’s his 20D on the left and my 30D on the right. We took the photo with Mark’s new Rebel XTI, known abroad as the 400D, I think. Derek was amazingly generous about letting us use his fantastic equipment over the weekend. Thanks again, D!
