Yeah, those are some excellent images above.
I've concluded that I most likely will get the 100-400 II after taking a CPS loaner for a spin and then re exploring the 400 5.6. All I can say is I need IS. I was shaking like a leaf on a tree with the 400 5.6 and 7D2; it may not be so noticeable with the X, but I see it being used mostly with the 7D2.
Stillfingerz, CPW has a street price of $1860. I put a "see if they bite on this" bid on Greentoe to see if I can get it even lower than the CPW streetprice. I doubt they will go for it, but hey it's the holidays - who knows.
Are any of you'll finding success with using the 1.4 with this lens?...Show more →
Indeed, however good 400 f/5.6 might be, shooting with it hand-held requires a very steady hand.....the lens is quite demanding that way. However, 100-400 II is simply better in all ways except the price.
Even those who'd like to shed some "big white" load off their backs, and thus they are contemplating getting 400 DO II......my advice to them is to think about such move twice, and consider getting 100-400 II instead of 400 DO II. Remember, the Supertelephotomaster would never steer you wrong.
I have not used 100-400 II with 1.4xTC III on BIF since my initial lens tests last December (one such easy proximity/fly-by test shot is enclosed), therefore I am not experienced enough with that, besides, I do not like shooting at f/8.
1DX + 100-400 II + 1.4xTC III
