It is downright eerie how much those feathers look like bark!

IS is amazing on this lens, a lot like the 70-300L.

This is 400mm 1/60

Yes, quite so. It enables one to take photos that one could not get with the 100-400 IS version 1. I find myself shooting handheld much more often than I would ever have dared to do with the old lens.


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

I got mine this afternoon.
It was given partly as a birthday present by my wife.
I tried it in some shots, nothing special, but it worked fine. I also tried it with a teleconverter Kelko 1.4 DGX Pro and had no problem.
I am so happy, like a child.

In the grounds of Australia Zoo. Like the Bush Stone Curlew, due tio their camouflage, they're very hard to spot in the wild unless they actually move.

Thank you. I've just noticed that those pics have picked up a lot of Cyan/Blue on flickr? The originals are nothing like that?

Edit: Deleted them and replaced the pics which now show as the originals

I got quite a lot of shots of wild Curlews above Cairns a few years ago. Love their big eyes. As long as I didn't make any sudden movements, they were curious and played hide and seek in and out of the undergrowth.

They can be as stupid as plovers some times. There's a few nest every year in the grass border of the car park at The Prince Charles Hospital in Brizzy. They seem to think that if they stand perfectly still, they can't be seen/harmed. You can almost reach out and touch them before they move off. Their camouflage works over wood chip but not over grass :-)

I recently acquired the 7D2 to match the 100-400mk2 and the combination is a revelation. It was so much easier with a higher rate of keepers than on the 5D3. Even my Nikon buddies who I shoot wildlife with were envious. The investment on the combination is well worth it.
