Yes, I am deliciously domestic.  Seeing as I live alone, it's that or be deliciously pungent.

I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Canon EF 300mm f2.8 L IS USM lens. Borrowed one to take pictures in St. Pat's and the quality was amazing, despite being heavy as fuck. €4000ish new though, one day maybe. :(

I have an older (ED glass, IF, but not quite so techie as the more modern ones) Nikon version and it is certainly an amazing lens, also. I also have the 180mm f2.8 EDIF which I found (surprisingly) very useful for portrait work. The 180mm, on an extension, has made some of my micro work (belly crawling bug chaser, me) more predictable and easier to accomplish.
Hope you can grab a used one at a bargain some day, as I did in both cases.

Nikons recent lenses with nanocoating in them is apparently even better quality than L series lenses. Still, most of them are overkill for me.

Might just settle on an EF 200mm f2.8 L USM. Only €700 and heard it does a decent job.

It's too easy to wish for overkill. We all go there.  But, settling for next best is what has saved me a lot of money. I am right there with you, though.

But if you can find a decent used lens in the range you described, even though it may not be the exact same, (last year's best, for instance) it will be near half the price of the newest ones, with similar properties.

I am lucky to have a number of pro dealers in downtown Indy (less than an hour's drive), who all shuffle items that the "big boys"  use and discard. I have not bought "real" camera things in about five years, but my time is approaching again. Things are going better for us and "my free cash," though still a dream, is within view.
