Re: Can anyone comment on the comparison between 400L f5.6 &a...
I chose 400mm F5.6 prime lens
-- due to birding and nature photography
-- faster auto-focus
-- sharper at 400mm
-- sharp wide open at F5.6
-- works well with a 1.4X TC -- It can auto-focus Birds in Flight at 560mm F8 (Tamron non-reporting TC)
Personally I see no need for IS. Especially if you shoot from a tripod.
I shoot hand held and get excellent results at 400mm and very good results with the 1.4X TC
I did not see the point in the zoom as I would be at 400mm 99.9% of the time
