The shop was Cathay Photo and the price included GST Unfortunately it was the last 400 they had. They did offer me a 600mm F4 IS II for an extra S$1000

Was in local camera shop last week when shop assistant tells me they have a new 400mm F2.8L IS II for just over 8K Sing dollar Was bonus time so left them with an empty box and strolled home with my new toy over my shoulder Paid S$8450 which is about $6200 US

I've not seen any reviews but bought one as soon as it was available. It definitely helps on the bigger lenses. Since I bought the 28-70 I very rarely use the R without it. After a shooting session I just plug into the USB and give it a top up

Thanks Click

Some shots with EOS R at Sungei Bulow Nature Reserve. Paradise Tree snake - EOS R and 100-400 and 1.4 TC Baby Monitor that I almost stood on EOS R with 100-400 MkII and 1.4 TC Robber Fly - EOS R and 100 F2.8 Macro and Kenko 7mm Ext tube

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...

Usually happens when trying to focus on distant subjects like the bird in these photos and the previous focus isn't in range. The R was set to one shot with small FP but have experienced it using servo as well. I was using the 28-70 prior to the 100-400 and when I switched to the 100-400 and...

Thanks Jack, The R works flawlessly with my 200 F2. With the 100-400 II there is a reticence sometimes for it to focus and it needs a bit of assistance getting there. Once locked on it stays locked on

Thanks Click

Thanks Alan, The place can be quite frustrating at times, I had almost given up for the day when i came across the Sun bird

Copper Throated Sunbird at Sungei Bulow Nature Reserve in Singapore EOS-R and 100-400 II + TC1.4

28-70 F2 for me. Had no intention to buy it but not regretting it one bit

I have used the 100-400 II with and without the 1.4tc and as long as focus limiter is set it is ok If not then it needs some time to get there or a little manual assistance. Used the 135f2 in low light and had some issues locking focus, again set the focus limit to 1.6m and it behaved better...

Looks like focus distance information is only for RF lenses Not displayed with the EF 85 f1.4 L and menu option is greyed out

Looking at my old receipts a new one is due very shortly You can always sign up for their beta testing program
