First impressions: love the short MFD. Lens focuses very fast even with 1.4x attached. So far I've only used it around the yard in somewhat harsh light, but the detail from this camera/lens combination is fantastic.

congrats on the new equipment, I'm sure you will love the combination. I love my new 500L but I still use the 100-400 for all my nature work from a kayak and pretty much all air travel. I'm not missing much other than the full autofocus at f8 with the 5DS.Asher said:First impressions: love the short MFD. Lens focuses very fast even with 1.4x attached.

I just read through this whole thing hoping you'd come to the "right" conclusion (the one I did, of course!). Good job, glad you're loving it. I even only use mine with a 5D3, but it damn near lives on the camera and does an excellent job of shooting the wildlife in my back yard. Do post some samples when you get good ones, and further impressions!
Very nice! Like Mikehit, I really like the first one.Asher said:Finally, some results to post.

How do you feel it compares with your 400 f/5.6 after some use?
