Hi Jack.
Sadly no, it is a somewhat second hand pre loved MK 1 IS version, it is only new to me! :) For several birthdays and Christmas’s I have been asked what I would like, to which I replied a 600mm f/4 L.
This years birthday (52nd) I commented that I would like one before I’m too old and decrepit to lug it around and most surprisingly one materialised! :oops::ROFLMAO:

Cheers, Graham.
Congratulations Graham!
BTW, I took this as an advise :LOL:... Not sure it will come true:confused:

Hi ISv.
I wasn’t aware that you could fit one on your camera! :oops::ROFLMAO:
Whichever lens you are hoping for I wish you luck and hope my technique works for you! I don’t think it will work for me again! :LOL::ROFLMAO:

Cheers, Graham.

Congratulations Graham!

This is a shot I got last year of a Galapagos Hawk.it never stopped watching us but it allowed us to walk past only a few metres away. Awesome experience.

What a shot - you are convincing me to take both 100-400mms with me instead of the prime + zoom !

This was shot on the 70-200 but from memory at about 100mm and then cropped from a full length portrait. I did shoot headshots at 200 but none had as good a pose.

Hi Jeremy.
Very nice, such fine detail, such small fast moving birds, I take my hat off to you for getting these shots.

Cheers, Graham.

Thank you Jack! Thank you Graham!

They are my favorite, and I look forward to the 3 weeks in spring and fall that I get up to 40 different species passing through my area. I use all my free time out in the woods watching these guys! Some of them will come within 1' of me. It's so relaxing and peaceful to have them fly around you hawking insects.

Jeremy
