Re: Canon 400mm f/5.6L comparred to 500mm f4 L IS... my impressions

Thanks for that very useful input. I have the 400 f5.6 which I bought for birding. Alas I've found it much too short, excellent though the IQ is, and have seriously considered getting the 500 f4. However, the weight has put me off - I find even the 300 f4L too heavy for prolonged hand-holding, so would find the weight of the 500 too much. Maybe I'll persevere with the 400 or just give up on birding.
