Out of the following two set ups, which do you think would generate higher IQ?

A) 70-200mm f/2.8 L v1 with 1.4x II teleconverter

B) 100-400mm L

The 1.4X will slow down focusing on the 70-200
get the 100-400

I'm trying out a 100-400L right now...I'll know a lot more this weekend out for an Eagle photographing day this Saturday, and maybe Sunday out shooting somewhere else...

But it does need some practice if youre not used to long lenses!

yes... long lens technique!

Also considering the possibility of simply a 135L with 1.4xII as light travel kit. Can probably borrow a 135L

100-400...even 400mm is often too short for birds.

100-400L for sure, 400mm stomps all over 280mm even if the 400mm is somewhat worse quality than the 280mm and in this case that is not even the case
