At last I have got close to a bird with the 400mm DO II and 5D IV. Singing is at 1/80 and the other at 1/125s hand held in the gloom. I don't agree with the complaints that the 5D IV is soft. Anyway, I am happy with the lens, its sharpness and IS, and the AF of the 5D IV.

Hi Alan.
Very nice shots, looks like the lens is a goodun, pretty good technique too, were you using legs?

Cheers, Graham.

Hi nats1mom.
Nice shots, at least they had the decency to pose for you after eating your garden, fair exchange is no robbery! :eek: ;D

Cheers, Graham.

These two have been eating my freshly planted garden seeds and taunting me! Had to replant today :(

Ha, Ha! Thank you Graham. Cheers to you!

Good to see/hear. Please try for some BIF with 800 for me and report your results. I know that's a tall order.
