Is that fishing line on that poor guy? I hate when that happens (if that's what it is)

I shot this photo of a female snail kite with my 7Dii and a borrowed Canon 600mm f4. Holy crap is all I can say. But what a beast to lift up and shoot with handheld and from a boat, no less!!!! The IQ is magnificent compared to the 100-400ii enlarged to the same size, with or without the TC. Cropped about 75% or so.

Yes! Won't be long I bet until you are putting a 600mm on your 5Div.

Excellent shot Ed, if I had it in my budget I'd give up my 500 and get the 600 II without hesitation.

I wish I could say that. I'm having trouble even now lifting and wielding the 500. Enjoy your strength and youth while you have it. If you are old and
can still wield even the 500 without effort than you suck (just teasing).

Thanks very much. I'm 60 and still have no trouble hand holding the 500 and MK IV, hopefully I'll have many more years of being able to enjoy this gear. I guess that qualifies as old but I try not to think that way. I count my blessings and make the most of each day I'm vertical.

There was a guy in the for sale section looking to trade his 600 for a 500. I don't know if it's still there.

Thanks for the heads up but my 500 is a Ver I, trading a 600 II for it isn't likely. But it's nice to dream :)

60 is the new 40 so your good.
