Thanks for the review.
Im moving over to Canon from Nikon and currently shopping around
Lots of nicely priced (and well used Mk1 IS's around) with used copies of the Mk2 going for double the price.
Only reason i can really see myself going the newer lens is that Canon wont repair a mk1 if it has an issue.
That said, the 400/500 mk1's are probably more what im after as i shoot field sports a lot more than indoor.

B&H often has some good deals on used long lenses for Canon. I was hoping that a mass exodus to mirrorless cameras would create an avalanche of used EF lenses but that hasn't happened, at least not yet.

no, Scot, that is not gonna happen. people are gonna hang on to their EF "L" lenses because they are just as good as the RF lenses, and also, the owners of the EF lenses can use their EF "L" lenses with their existing dslrs and RF cameras (count me as one of them) so there won't be an exodus any time soon.
