Birds with My New 600mm Lens

I finaly received my new Canon 600mm F4 IS II L lens. So far I have only been able to try it out in the field for about three hours. Below are a few of the images I made. Some were made with the addition of a 2X TC. Can you guess which ones without looking at the EXIF data? Please note that images 1, 7, & 8 are fairly large crops.

1 Bald Eagle in Flight with Fish

Beautiful shots Jim I'm quite envious of that lens. I'm gonna guess the Bald Eagle and perched red shouldered were with the extender on.

oh my.... these are just amazing.

What a great lens. Fantastic shots. You using a 1D4 also?

Amazing. I am green with envy! And no I can't tell which are with the extender, they all look sharp to me. Time to sell a kidney I guess and upgrade...

Great shots...birds in flight, what a sight!

ME TOO!
Nice shots.

Soon as I saw your name and read the title I knew these were going to be special. I wasn't wrong
How do you find the weight and size compared to the 500 f/4?

The lens is slightly heavier, but it feels lighter because the balance is better. It is a bit longer, but still fits in my Think Tank Airport Security bag while attached to the camera with the hood reversed. Same way I packed the 500mm.

1, 4, 7 and 8 with the 2X? And I didn't look yet.

Excellent series.

Sweet shots !

Very nice shots. I'll second, Duane.

Very nice! Wish my three hours were the same as yours!
