OK, thanks everyone!

Thats what I thought too, but I can not really help to wonder, why is it that I see a lot of people using their 70-200f/2.8 on vacations, but so few using a 100-400. They are almost the same weight and size. So, it must be that 200mm is long enough most of the time, and that the 70-200f/2.8 variants are a lot more common.

I will keep using my 70-200f/4L IS for travel and I will buy the 100-400f/4.5-5.6L IS II when I return, and use it for wildlife and birding.

Happy summer holidays!
