Re: EF 400mm f/5.6L USM image quality

Damn, you were all right about the comments about stabilization and shutter speed.

The lens arrived today, and after experimenting with it for a while, it seems like it's pretty much impossible to shoot stationary objects with out without tripod. Even 1/500s didn't give me any decent results.

I'll take it to this weekend's zoo trip with a tripod and see what happens, but I think I will return it and keep saving for something with IS - but the only other option is the 100-400 II that cost twice as much 2nd hand.
