And the 90 with extender will be 180mm too short!:) And you'll stand there crying! :) And you'll live with the memory of what could have been, if only you had taken the 180mm and used your 2X on it! :) Trust me, been there done that! You'll hate yourself for the rest of your days. It isn't lugging a 400mm 2.8 around, a 180 isn't worth leaving at home simply because you can use it for so many travel type situations and when you want to "reach" you just pop that 2X on. ted
