£700 for the 300mm?

I need to buy a couple of lens cap.

I wonder if anyone used those that include a translucent fron end to use for white balance. Item from fleabay here:

OK, so you are going to my birthplace. Not Mauritius island, but should be called Republic of Mauritius. Anyway who cares.

In 2 months time, winter will be almost over.Not that it gets cold or miserable. You will have good light from 07h00 to 1700. So you should not need a fast lens.

I would say take just one lens and enjoy your holiday. Theft is not usually a big problem, but take the usual precautions.

Places to see/photograph:

Pamplemousses Botanical garden ( the name might have changed now)
The Port Louis market in the early morning
Coin de mire island from North
Chamarel coloured earth/ waterfall
Rochester falls
Grand Bassin (hindu place of worship akin to the Ganges)
Black River gorges

I wonder what folks in here use.

This compared to the Pentax F seems good value. Has anyone used one?

Mainly for use in bulb mode

The ring was ever so slightly larger than the hood's circumference.
