Long Range L Choices

Wilmark:
Have found the reviews on BH to be pretty helpful esp for the 400 F2.8II. It appears for the 13 reviews there that there is quite decent performance with the 1.5x Telli and the 2x slows down the AF too much for BIF. So you are looking at about 560mm useful range with the 400-2.8II.

In that case a 500mm f/4L IS II is a much better choice...

Wilmark:
@ Tron. You might be right. The 500 may still be good for sports and action. And good  for birding as is and with a 1.4x telli.
