I got my "mint" 400mm f5.6 about 11 years ago from KEH, my first ever "L" secondhand photography purchase. and not the last!

I use it on my 5D MkV ibis body (actually an A7R4 with adapter that I keep for the L's)
When I pixel peep, it's "OMG"
Must have scored a good copy, as it beats all my x-600 and x-500 zooms and the ibis works a treat.

I believe its rating from lens tests still holds up?

Glad you're happy.  However, you lost me on the body.
