Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM

CyberDyneSystems · 10th of October 2006 (Tue)

Since Mitch was kind enoguh to get the 600mm f/4L IS Image Archive thread going, I thought I'd take the opportunity to jump in with starting 500mm thread.

Here's a quick sampling of what I've got with this fine optic.

100% crop of above

I know there's a few 500mm owners out there, let's see some more.

Here's a few from my 500 f/4L is

Look at the corner of the setting sun for the "Green Flash"

What's a 'green flash'?

Great pictures guys and good idea.

Its kind of like the Aurora Borealis for those of us that are lower in the hemisphere

It doesn't really have anything to do with how an Aurora works. Here is the wiki page for this phenomenon - Green Flash.

Awesome photos hooookup. I love the colour in the 3rd last one.

All 100% crops, no processing, from the 500mm f/4. This lens is simply stunning.

Black-Capped Chickadee

House Finch

Brown-Headed Cowbird, the first I've ever seen on my feeders. He went straight for the food, bypassing my branches and a chance for a natural shot, and he didn't stay long at all.

Chipping Sparrow

House Sparrow

All of these shots are simply stunning but the Cedar Waxwing is incredable. Boy do I want this lens....

Congrats, these look great!! I hope you are having fun with the lens. There is something about #2 I love... and the fox shots are a great catch.
