I'm stuck in a conundrum. Does anyone here have any hands on experience with the latest incarnation of the Sigma 120-300 2.8 OS as well as this lens? Can you compare the focal speed/accuracy of the two? The 400L is lighter but I've tried older incarnations of the Sigma and had no problem handholding. The older Sigmas weren't reliable in the focal accuracy department though. Speed wasn't bad.

Tripod, Mirror Lock up, and remote release. The eagle actually sat there for 3 hours! I've never gotten within 100 yards of one, but I didn't even see this one until I was 30 feet from him. I think he was a immature one - too young to be wary of people...

Nope, that's a full grown adult eagle. Immature Eagles are mostly brown and don't have the clean white heads. It just looks content, with a full belly after feeding.

Very nice shot.

Thank you for the nice comment and explanation, and clearly I'm no ornithologist :). He was very content and actually fell asleep which is why I finally left him alone and gave up on waiting for a shot of him flying off. It was really cool to be close to such an amazing creature. Here he is sleeping and a couple of other shots with the 400:

Here are some recent shots I took from a road trip to Chincoteague and Blackwater NWRs. These were all taken with the 1.4 extender attached. Was glad to see that the combo works well for in flight shots.
