Thanx, Edd.....400 DO is a decent lens, and its IQ is better than many people believe, although it is probably not as good as a few owners have suggested, unless they have a specially selected and prepped copy.
My main mission target today was a colony of Common terns which have come back to lake Ontario recently. However, they are still fooling around, flying high in mating rituals, and they do not come near enough for good photo opportunities. Now, as soon as chicks are hatched, the parents have to start fishing much more earnestly, which brings them within my photo range.
Nevertheless, I managed to get one half-decent TIF shot today in about 1.5 hr of mostly waiting for a bird to wander into the range of fire, using 1DMkIIN + 400 DO.
I often joke with my wife when she asks me if I am going to the lake shooting with 400 DO (or whatever other lens). My usual reply to her is: \" No, not going shooting, I am going waiting with 400 DO by the lake.\" Much of the time that\'s what it boils down to in my area.
