Alright, so just discovered that my IS is simply not working.
I'm hoping i won't have to foot the repair bill, but any idea on what it would cost?

Cost me 600€ for the IS on a 300 2.8 IS.... if that helps :|

Just got my new "used" 400. I'm so excited for football season. Here is my first pic.

Just got my CPS loaner to evaluate. WOW! This lens is a lot lighter than I was anticipating. It's surprisingly easy to handheld without need for tripod/monopod. Lens is balanced very well.

This is not going to be good for my wallet...

Sounds like you're talking about the MkII?

Yeah, you're right. Oops. Wrong 400/2.8 thread. My apologies. :)

No worries! It's mighty impressive just how much weight they've shaved off the MkII biggies.

Here is an image of a Wild Turkey taken with the 2x extender. I know that many photographers complain about how soft images are with the 2x, but I have not found that to be the case at all. Included is a tight crop to show the degree to which the fine detail is resolved.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Great example, Tom!
When I am using my lens with the 2xIII-Extender I am mostly happy with the results (I was not with the 2xI/II). However, I think it strongly depends on the distance to the subject! The "closer", the better.
