By far the best If lens as far as I'm concerned...the main reason I bought it after doing some research. ;)

Excellent in-flights...nice light.

Sonic, what was your prior birding lens? I am on the fence with the 400 5.6 I currently use the 100-400 and I am finding that it is just not quite adequate for BIF.

the 100-400! started with the bigma then got a 100-400 then moved on to the 400 f5.6

the 100-400 is a excellent lens,though ive come to the conclusion that IS does not matter for BIF,infact it may be worse!

Have you missed the 100-400 after the switch? I have a 70-200 2.8 is to fill in the gap some, but I would be w/o 201-399.
