Very nice set Tim and for me the 400 5.6 is my favorite lens for all the reasons you mention.
Taking this opportunity to wish you and family a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year with lots of fantastic pics.
Best wishes
Martin

Jude it was my only lens for a long time. It was nice to use it again and realize that my memories of just how good it is aren't exaggerated. It really has to be the best lens in the line up dollar for dollar. Thanks!!!

Tim have you used the 400 5.6 with a canon TC on the 1d4 or 1d3? I am seriously considering getting a TC and the last one I used was a Kenko Pro on my 7D which did AF sort of and gave me very soft pics. Not sure if it is a good combo and I know people say the Canon mkIII Tc is better in IQ. I tried the mk II at the store last week and it seemed ok but noticed a bit less sharpness. If the mk III is better then it may be something I could be happy with. I know most pair the TC's with F4 lenses mostly. With the 1d4 now, I am not affraid to ramp the ISO up as high as 2500 or even 3200 and then process the pics. So that will help keep my shutter up at F8 or above.

The 400 is the KING of short range, strong light, gull/duck sized bird photography! Nice set man

People say all sorts of things I would pay more attention to results I have used the Canon 1.4 mk2 on the 400 and in good light it works pretty good. I do know of others on this forum that have gotten excellent results with that combo. It's all in technique and available light. I don't think the mk3 tc would be any different on the 400 it is a step above the mk2 on the new generation of super tele's. The first shot on this thread http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1178269 was taken with a Kenko 1.4 Pro on an f 5.6 lens.

Ya That is what I read also about the mk III and focusing better with the new mk II supertele's. With the rebate on the mk III's and the fact that I will be getting a 600mm at some point this year I may as well have it in my bag.
