Re: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM
The first is ISO 3200, f/5.6, 400mm, 1/250th, handheld.
The second is ISO 12800, f/5.6, 400mm, 1/1600th, handheld.
Both are cropped around 50% or so.
It was late in the day and in the shade, except there is some backlighting of the bird on the first shot. It would be nice to have been able to shoot them in full sun so as to get the shutter towards 1/8000th and hopefully get "stopped" wings that are clear.
I borrowed the lens and didn't AFMA it. It's a very nice lens at that price point, I'm sure the new one will be even better, but probably only 20% better for 150% more cash.
