Nothing particularly earth-shattering here--just a couple more gulls in flight coming to some chum--but the difference here is I shot the 400DOII w/wo 1.4X TC and I found that the Hoodman was completely reasonable to use. I found that using the shorter focal length (compared to the 840 or 1200mm with the 600iii), it was really easy to get the birds in view. It was actually surprisingly easy. Weight was no concern.
Ryan I tested the lens using the OVF at 1200mm with IS on and handheld at 1/160th. It did very well at that speed and distance for moving birdies. Not everyone was sharp but more due to the bird moving than the lens in my opinion. I did not get a chance to test the bare lens.
