    Hi all,


    I would like to shoot some hares tomorrow and need a 400mm or 500mm lens. Is there anyone that I cold borrow one from? I can give something from my kit in return. I only need it for one day.


    Thanks,
    Alex

    Canon or Nikon?

    The only one I know, off hand, with a Canon 500mm would be kensutz.

    Sorry, should have mentioned that - canon.
    I don't really need a prime, any zoom will do.

    I loaned him my lens but I'm sure he would've jumped at yours Paddy!
    Glad to know you have 1 though. ;)

    He does have a 600mm. That and the 500mm are ideal for GAA. Also comes in handy when I'm covering cricket too.
