Canon 200-400 f/4 Question
Re: Canon 200-400 f/4 Question

I have both the 200-400 and 100-400 II. The 200-400 is a fantastic lens, but not for airshows. Too heavy / bulky for fast panning and hand holding for long periods. The only way I would use the 200-400 for an airshow would be on a tripod/Wimberly head and positioned at the end of the flight path for approaching shots with limited panning. I always use my 100-400 II or 70-200 II for airshows. I tried to use a monopod for my first airshow and have went handheld with the 100-400 II after a frustrating afternoon. I like the idea of the 400 DO II w/1.4 III and may rent one for my next airshow (Wings Over North Georgia). I love my 200-400 for wildlife and have found it is still very sharp with a 2x TC (f8 @ 400-800) - loose just a bit of sharpness and contrast which can be fixed.
