    Treated myself as well...

    Santa hasn't brought everything yet but I did get my new monopod and head yesterday. Really happy with it as I was worried the top section would be too large and the bottom section to narrow. Turns out to be very good. Fully extended it sits the camera view finder just above eye level

    Gitzo GM5561T and RRS MH-01 with B2-40 LR.

    Nice.

    I was looking at prices and was going to say why didn't you get the 600mm f4.. thinking it was $1134 not $11134 I think im dyslexic...

    Tough choice between the 200mm f2 vr? I don't think I could resist that f2 goodness.

    I love the case you get, bit more practical than the hard leather one I have for my 80-200.

    Yes the 600mm is "somewhat more" in price. It also weighs almost twice as much But if ever have played with one you will know they are a fantastic lens.

    The 200mm f/2 is a beautiful prime but doesn't fit what I want to shoot. I did consider the 200-400 VRII though.

    Case is fantastic and really solid. For the 80-200 I'd recommend getting a Lowepro Lens Case 3. I use one with my 70-200 when I'm not taking the full kit bag.


    From Left to Right: 300mm f/2.8G VRII, 50mm f/1.4D, 70-200mm f/2.8G VR
