Decisions indeed. The 500 is a big heavy lens which I would only buy for a specific reason like wildlife/birds. It really needs a good tripod too so you would not take it out 'on spec.' The 300 2.8 with converter would be a better general combination if you are not particularly into the birds. I wonder if there will be a super new 1D S MK lV coming out late spring in which case it might be worth waiting a while if a new body tempts you?
