I would also check the filter rim thickness as bought a Sigma ceramic protection filter. The rim was too thick for the lens hood so had to unscrew to reverse or remount.

Came across a pair of Sea Eagles that were nesting in a park in centre of Singapore. Seems the tree they usually nest in was cut down so they moved in next door. EOS5DiV and 400 F2.8 II and 2x TC

The first time my knob fell off i managed to retrieve and screw back in The second time not so lucky as was carrying the camera/lens on the tripod when went limp, didn't suspect the missing knob Luckily local camera shop advertising they were the service centre for Gitzo so a new knob was there...

I have the Gitzo GH1382QD ball head on my Gitzo traveller and liked it so much I ended up buying the series 3 for my GT3542LS Only issue I have is the knobs seem to loosen of themselves and can drop off. Tighten up as I pack up and do the same before I venture out on another trip

Apologies for the late reply, been a bit busy of late. I can concur with what he was experiencing with the 100-400 and the R in low light. Was thinking at the time that the fabled firmware update might resolve the issue. I updated firmware when it was released and managed a trip to Sungei today...
