smythie I wasn't even trying More info | Jan 29, 2016 15:29 | #3076 I'd only get rid of the 500 if you felt you were missing out on the flexibility of zoom. Otherwise I believe on the 5D3 the IQ should be better than the 100-400 II on a 7D2. Haven't tested them side by side though.

I do everything from a full seen shot to just a head shot in the turn of the ring. Jeff ........, 7D, 70-300L, 100-400LII

Jan 29, 2016 15:46 | #3078 Thanks for the replies...in an ideal world I would add the 100-400 to what I have, but that isn't happening. It's flexibility that I'm after. 5D3, 7D2, 1D3, 40D, 14 f2.8 Samyang, 17-40 L, 28-80 L, 70-200 2.8ii L, 200 2.8ii L, 200-400 L, 1.4 ii,

One of the hardest things I've tried to shoot as they roost with their backs to the sun, hence their face is in the shade. Add to that the rain yesterday and despite the sun today, so much moisture in the air softens the image. Anyone that's photographed bats knows that they wouldn't look as if they were in such good light when roosting, it's just that opening up the shadows makes it seem that way. Anyways, I've done my best with a bit of post processing and I ain't no whiz at that,.......... but ............enjoy..........they may look cute but remember, they carry the Hendra virus which is a killer.

Loving the foxes, we have a couple come near our garden, hoping for some young next year.
