Nikon was still riding on the reputation of the F as bullet proof, not its glass. Today, I see more Canon in the photo pits than ever before.

Glad you finally got the chance to try out an L lens, as so many of us have suggested. The 100-400 looks like a great fit for your needs. Extenders work ok with fast primes (2.8+), but with this lens there's not enough light to give up since it starts at 4.5. As for min. focusing distance, comes with the territory. In the end, the results definitely look much better. Go buy one :) Great! Glad you finally got the chance to try out an L lens, as so many of us have suggested.
