I also have 70-200 f4 L and the 100-400 L and I agree with Keith.

I don't think of the 100-400 L as a landscape lens but I guess it could be used as one.

My thought was, I've used the 70-200 2.8 a lot with landscapes on my 7D - which, with a 1.6 crop factor, is like a 112-320 lens so, using a 100-400 on a 5D MIII would be a comparable focal length.

And, yes, I do also use my 10-22 & 17-55 for this! But, as much as I loved my 70-200 2.8, I wasn't sure if I'd regret this or have similar love for the 100-400! It's not as easy to buy and then make a change, at $1600 so I thought I'd find out what others thought. As far as the weight, I'd be used to that with the 70-200 2.8.

I appreciate your thoughts on this.
