Hi,
I really like the range of the 100-400L but just need to see a sample image.
My main use will be surfing shots and candid portraits from a distance.
Could anybody help and post images of the lens at 400mm without cropping the image. I am interested in how much the frame is filled at full zoom.
Also if you could give an estimate of distance from the subject, like at the waters edge or closer on rocks.
All images or info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.
I think I will hire the lens for a weekend and give it a try before I buy.

Correct ... most shots are between 300-400mm. I don't use a tripod or monopod as a habit, though I own both. I have found that the IS is more than enough for my normal style of shooting. The few times I have used either 'pod' has been for bird nests, like the Ospreys.

I started shooting in zoo's at between 200mm to 400mm, and since last May when I came across a fox on Mt. Rainier, I have tried to exclusively shoot wild animals - once you see them wild it's never the same seeing them in captivity.

Hope this helps.

Brilliant ... it does, thanks.

I agree with you entirely about shooting wild-wildlife. It's also really useful to see how important length is once we leave the comfort of our own garden and venture out :lol:

I forgot to add the primary reason I do not usually use a tripod.

For some strange reason, out in the woods, there is an abundance of improvised supports.
Place the back of the right hand up against a tree, and voila, instant monopod. Lay the lens barrel on any handy branch - almost as good as a tripod.

Or throw a beanbag down on a rock.

Improvise, adapt, overcome ... and 90% of the time a tripod is unneeded.

Sounds like fromer SF. By the way, did you take some of your shots at NW Trek?

G10, 1DsMkIII, 5D MKII, T4i a bunch of L glass, 70-200F2.8IS, 28-300IS, 35-350, you get the drift, flashes, bags, Epson 4800/7880 Pro, studio stuff and an understanding wife.

Be aware of how you live, you could be the only scripture someone may ever read.

I've had some training.

Good eye on picking out that some of my stuff was shot at NW Trek, then again it may have been the header on my newest photo's page that gave it away, which really isn't so new now that I'm back from Yellowstone.
