I'd be happy with those, too. Were any of them cropped?

Yes, some of them were cropped, but not much.  My problem with that lens was how soft it was, even in good light.  Every now and then I'd get a good sharp image, but most were disappointing, even after several calibration attempts with the USB dock.

The difference between the Sigma 100-400 and the Canon 300mm f4 L is night and day.  The Canon is tack sharp, and with the 1.4x TC is still sharper than my copy of the Sigma.

I'm very happy with my choice.
