Just received my new 400 f5.6 a week ago. I took a trip to Bempton cliffs in Yorkshire to try it out with BIF shots. CC most welcome as I am very much a learner with bird photography.

Beautiful shots. I went window shopping to replace mine, and everyone is backordered. It's a popular lens for sure. :)

Congrats.

To be honest it's so easy, having fast AF and being so sharp.

All wide open, haven't used it on anything else yet. I would recommend it, I spent ages deliberating over this and 100-400 and have been extremely happy so far.:D
