Whilst it is 1.3 kilo heavier than my Canon 800mm (5.8 vs 4.5 - that 1.3 Kilo is quite a bit!) it should be manageable. After all I used to lug around the original Canon EF 400 F2.8 L at 6.1 kilo!

Its hard to find a better all around lens than the 100-400L II. I find its biggest down fall is the f5.6 in the darkest times. Which of course is when we find the great stuff happening  Image hosted by forum (859653) © Pondrader [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

LOL I would have sneaked up on them but it was a place I could not get to without them seeing me. But thats ok it was the same distance to my house so i'm sure I will get a chance to get close. I prefer under 20 feet for good detail lol  Image hosted by forum (859654) © Pondrader [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

Maybe it ( it being the camera / lens ) does know the exact distance that relates to the position the lens has moved to achieve focus, but it does not release that data to the interface that stores the data the plug in reads. A coupla bodies and a few lenses
