So let us see your 100-400 BIF action images. I don\'t care if you shoot Bald Eagles, Canada Geese or Dragon Flies with it, the lens doesn\'t know if a bird you are pointing it at is at the verge of extinction or half-domesticated. The objective is to try to draw some kind of BIF application boundary for 100-400 lens.
Very nice shot, Paul, let us just confirm a couple of issues:
(1) That was 100-400
(2) Although on N&W Board they do not really distinguish between the two or any other mode as long as the target is airborne, we on this lens performance forum need to be more precise: was that a \"hover\" or a \"flight\" ?
(1) Yes
(2) As admitted on the flickr page... \"hover\"! My hat is off to those who get good DIF shots of DFs moving at any appreciable speed.
How about:
GBH on short final
I was racked out to 400mm and didn\'t have the presence of mind to zoom out; aside from cropping the sides off, this is the full frame.
