    Considering you are looking for comments from anyone who owns the printer, sounds like you already made your decision . Myself, I'm a glass junkie, I'd choose the 300mm

    Interesting observation... actually I also really enjoy shopping/buying new glass.. but I know that I would make more use of the printer...

    Buy the glass; lots of places to get pictures printed.

    A printer is always available and it has been my experience that the lens will last longer and be a more worthwhile investment. Just find a good fine art printer online and go to them with the new pics from your 300mm.
