^^Very nice, Peire! I reacquired the 100-400 GM some months ago specifically for air to air shoots where the 200-600 would be too big and too long. I won't have more air to air shoot any time soon but I am keeping the 100-400, even though I have the 70-200 GII and the 200-600.It has its place for me and it's so sharp.

I re-acquired Sony GM 100-400/4.5-5.6.Just missing the combination of 400/5.6,minimal focusing distance of only 0,98m and perspectice it gives.
Your images are great examples of the wonderful 100-400 Peire.
I was fortunate to photograph a very rare and endangered Loggerhead turtle on land over the weekend as she headed back to the sea after laying her eggs.

Thank you Douglas.Yes.100-400 GM is sharp,quite crisp and has nice colour rendition.There are simply some situations when other long zooms,with or without teleconverters suck.I have all the zooms you mentioned plus Sigma 100-400/4.5-5.6 and see the place for each in my photography.

Thank you regulator.And lucky you with the turtle!
BTW: GM 70-200/2.8 + 1,4XTC is very good as your beautiful picture above shows.With 2xTC,especially stopped 1-2f stops is no slouch either.
Very cool, K-H. I don't think I have seen this type of hummers before.Thanks.
More from my garden two days ago. I am having fun photographing them with the 300 GM+2XTC. Hope I will get some shots of the adult males. These were all shot at close distance, 7-9 feet, the depth of field is very thin, even for such a tiny bird, much of the body is outside of the focus plane. Maybe I should try stepping down the aperture a bit.

Thank you Douglas for your feedback, much appreciated.
Your hummingbird and flower images are exquisite.
The FE 300 GM + 2x TC in your hands does a superb job.
We only see the Calliope hummingbirds in the Summer during their South migration through the Rocky Mountains, as they head North through California.
