I guess you can just link people here that are not satisified with their 100-400. This is deadly sharp. Really like it. My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

Mine are always a little blurry, sitting at some weird angle, gone when I snap, etc. They're much harder to shoot correctly than they look for sure! Yes, the pose angle of a butterfly is quite critical. The one I showed here is a "side shot" where you see only one wing, and everything is along one plane, so it is easier to get complete focus. You can shoot directly behind the butterfly so as to show both wings open, but then the legs will be hidden. One wing is often closer than the other wing, so focus problems come back. The poses that virtually nobody ever gets are the "head on" shot, which doesn't really display wings except for the leading edges, and the "belly up" shot.
