Re: Joaquin - similar thoughts but ........

I came to the same conclusion with BIF and general wildlife.The 400mm is very sharp, has good reach and has IQ which more than satisfies me. For low light - Barn owls at dusk - the 200mm f2.8 prime is a good alternative. Weight at my age is the main reason and all within a reasonable budget. IS and larger aperture would add to the weight (and cost). Carrying a scope and tripod as well is quite enough!
