Hi Pini,
I wasn't being clear. I have three lenses. One is on the camera and
the other two will have to be carried. I think the 70-300 DO IS is a
little soft, especially at the long end. But, it has some nice
features -- a lock to prevent the lens from extending, two IS modes,
one for both directions and the other for horizontal only and a
shorter overall length than the 75-300 IS I had before. The photo of
northern cardinals I have on this week's Photoforum website was taken
with it.

Hello Roger,
I came back to some old massages and saw the one below.
Why do you carry 2 70-300 DO IS lenses ?
How is the quality of the images done with this lense ?

????? Roger Eichhorn:
I have a couple of photo backpacks that are a pain to use. The
extra lenses are stored in them and the correct lens is never on
the camera at the right time and is not rapidly accessible
(they're on my back). Plus, now that I use a Canon 10D, I don't
need a lot of the stuff I used to carry around. I'm wondering if
anyone has a recommendation for a photo-vest. All I would need it
for is a couple of extra lenses (two of 70-300 DO IS; 17-40 L4.0;
50 mm macro and hoods) plus extra flash cards and battery. The
tripod, which I rarely use, can be handled separately. There seem
to be a lot of models available.
