Wow...the body has been working fine with other lenses though? That is the one you used for the train shots?

Sorry to hear that Chief. I know it can be frustrating in the extreme.


I'm wondering how far away the birds were (I've noticed an anomaly in the M3 where if the subject is small in the viewfinder it seems to miss every time). Also, it could very well be the 100-400 (but we all know how I feel about that lens). and WOOL!! :p:p NO he did not buy mine. :lol::lol:

Ya know I couldn't let that one slide Permie....too good an opportunity...besides.​..Chris would have done it if I didn't...That truly is one lens that seems to either be totally spectacular or totally crap...doesn't seem to be any middle ground at all.

Jim DeFord has tons of fantastic shots with the 100-400 and now two of you have tons of garbage shots...It is starting to look more like this lens is the real weak link in the L zoom lineup.

Perhaps the 100-400 just requires some kind of magic touch to make it work.

If I got rid of mine I don't know what I would get to replace it to take wildlife pics with! I was going to use it when I go "hunting" with hubby. Course mine might be fine I haven't used it enough yet to know. And being such a newb I probibly won't know if it's me or the lens anyway! (if there is a problem):confused:

My daughter has had mine for two years...one of her friends wants to buy it...so when I see the cash...it is history. I don't like push-pull zooms...I prefer twist zooms. I keep hoping Canon updates it to a 200-500 f/4-5.6 IS L with a twist zoom mechanism.
