Re: The 100-400 at relatively slow shutter speeds

Very nice photos, especially the ones from the parrot.

Lens seems indeed great in terms of IQ but for birds (especially small ones) you can’t work at such low shutter speeds unfortunately. For 800mm and in order to compensate for birds slight movement (even breathing) I need at least 1/500 which makes the f6.3 with the m43 sensor a bit limiting. Now if they fly, I need to raise the speed to 1/2000 and ISO can go up very very easily…
