Re: Canon 400mm f/5.6L. My impressions

Hi

I went from Canon 500mm f/4 IS and Canon 400mm f/4 DO IS to

Canon 400mm 5.6.

Reason is that I wanted a lighter lens that I could easely handhold. I find the 400mm 5.6 to be really good but still miss the sharpness, reach, and f/4 that 500mm has, so I have ordered the new 500mm f/4 IS II to test if I can use it handheld i field, it should be lighter.

My test shoots with Canon 400mm 5.6 handheld and sometimes with 1.4xtc
