EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Review WOW!

I'm still really enjoying this lens and its amazing sharpness. I've also ordered a 7d ii to take advantage of the additional reach that will provide, so thanks to all those who posted their 7d ii pictures with the 100-400. I've been thinking about buying a back up body anyway so now I have a great excuse!

Thanks Fella's, The only thing I can say rick is "correct exposure" now that doesn't mean meter in the middle but correct just the same.

Heh, heh, heh.... Truer words I have not read today ! "Love Hate"... "Hang in there" is right !

The rewards can be very satisfying but elusive at times.... "Hang in there"

Some days you'll think the thing has a mind of its own or has been possessed by some evil being intent on gummin' you up !

Shhhhhh Ned ......Lol, Dont discourage the excited lol, I love mine for what it is... Mystical
