Soaring Whistling Kite

[willz75]

Decided to do a bit of BIF photography today....so I borrowed the old man's 400 f5.6L and I must say it is so fast and sharp! Makes my 100-400L feel a little sluggish :p

Nice shot. Those 400 Primes are fast. :)

i think you need to borrow it a bit more if you can get shots like this one .

That 400 Prime is a good copy.

Excellent capture, I sold my 100-400 and bought the 400; I rarely miss it.

Did you give up using the 2X TC on the 100-400? How did that go?

I was going to but I've decided to keep it for wildlife portrait shots. It works well in good light but for BIF it's very difficult to get a sharp shot.

The 400 5.6 is a great ticket for BIF for sure.
