My first shots with my new 100-400L . I have had this lens for about three weeks but have been unable to go out and about with it until today. i was set for a day shooting kite sports but the wind didn't show up!!

Anyway i just shot the local K9's.

Nice shots Jon. That 2nd one would be perfect for the ball except you chopped a little of his tail off :( Love the DOF. Very nice shots.

WOW! Now I wish Dell came through with those 100-400's last year for $160! Nice shots!

Yeah, that tail really sucks.
I was thinking about sorting it out with PS but decided against it.

Great shots. All the great animal shots on the forum seem to come from that lens.

I still like #2 even if his tail is chopped off. He looks so happy. Good frame job too!

What focal length were you shooting at between 100 and 400, and what distance were you at from the dog? Great picture. I know now from these shots that I'm getting the 100-400 next month.

Hi,

These were shot at 400mm @ f7 ish. I was really suprised myself as i hear this lens is soft at the longest end!

I am not a good estimater of distance but i suppose i was around 100m from the target.

I think the 2nd one is a great shot. I wouldn't think twice about the tail,most people will be too busy looking at the other end and the nice bokeh in the background: it just adds pop to the subject. Nice lens!
