In Reply to: Yeah, the 400 is big and heavy, but it isn't really that bad. It's about the same weight as the 600 posted by MichaelTM on 2008-07-15 11:23:37

I'm getting a D700 so it'll be very similar.

A few (feathered) test shots from the new lens over the weekend - MichaelTM 2008-07-14 06:21:05 (219 views)

Very nice. Why did you go with the 400 exactly? - PabloX 2008-07-15 09:36:26 (27 views)

I wanted something longer than the 300. Thought about the 500 and 600, but didn't want to give up - MichaelTM 2008-07-15 10:01:47 (33 views)

Hmm, that last part is interesting. I'd definitely have to try that before buying. - PabloX 2008-07-15 11:13:36 (23 views)

Yeah, I'd appreciate that. - PabloX 2008-07-15 12:33:44 (26 views)

If it was the 1.7, that would push it past f5.6 which will probably prevent AF. - PabloX 2008-07-15 13:17:48 (19 views)

is that the limit on the D3? On Canon pro bodies f/8 is the limit. On consumer bodies it's f/5.6 - MichaelTM 2008-07-16 17:08:53 (19 views)

That's a good question. I'll have to look it up. - PabloX 2008-07-16 18:41:15 (23 views)

Just spoke with one of the guys with the 200-400 and tried his d300 with it - MichaelTM 2008-07-18 16:58:52 (32 views)

I'm thinking, eventually, I'll get the 200-400 and a D300 to use with it. - PabloX 2008-07-19 11:14:30 (25 views)

beautiful - TheLex 2008-07-14 19:24:45 (20 views)

Thank you! - MichaelTM 2008-07-15 04:56:08 (21 views)

love the first and last one - cj99si 2008-07-14 17:20:55 (23 views)

Thanks! As for the 2x - try it first. On anything but fast primes it's usually less than stellar - MichaelTM 2008-07-15 04:55:53 (20 views)

its for the 70-200 2.8 IS, do you recomend the 1.4 instead? - cj99si 2008-07-15 05:22:30 (19 views)

absolutely! 70-200 doesn't do well with the 2x. If you have an easy subject in mind, let me know - MichaelTM 2008-07-15 05:48:35 (24 views)

OK - cj99si 2008-07-16 09:54:42 (22 views)

a few yards away you likely won't see any difference other than slight contrast loss - MichaelTM 2008-07-16 10:59:07 (23 views)

Perfect, I just thought it would be easier for you. Thanks! - cj99si 2008-07-16 11:40:37 (21 views)

LOL! I just did the test and realized I was at 115mm! - MichaelTM 2008-07-16 15:06:32 (23 views)

here it is at 115mm till I can do this again at 200... - MichaelTM 2008-07-16 15:40:14 (36 views)

crap - cj99si 2008-07-16 17:27:37 (23 views)

does the extender only work on L series lenses or can I try it with my 28-135 kit lens? - nickelmedia 2008-07-15 09:04:49 (18 views)

Canon extender won't mount on 28-135, because front element will hit the rear element of the lens - MichaelTM 2008-07-15 09:11:58 (24 views)

Looks great! Did you sell the 300/2.8? - Petri 2008-07-14 08:16:05 (27 views)

Thanks! I've listed the 300 on a few forums, but need to take pics of it - MichaelTM 2008-07-14 08:26:39 (42 views)

Ok. Will you be using a monopod with the 400/2.8? - Petri 2008-07-14 08:45:10 (33 views)

yes, for my son's tennis and soccer - MichaelTM 2008-07-14 08:55:39 (40 views)

No need to go to a gym anymore :) - Petri 2008-07-14 09:00:54 (22 views)

LOL, true, not that I've seen a gym in the last 10 years or so :) - MichaelTM 2008-07-14 09:09:31 (22 views)

Just don't break your back with that thing! - Petri 2008-07-14 09:47:24 (24 views)

:) Hey, how are you liking the 300? - MichaelTM 2008-07-14 14:48:28 (24 views)

It looks very nice on my shelf :) - Petri 2008-07-14 21:47:00 (22 views)

what 300 is it? - nickelmedia 2008-07-14 08:34:45 (22 views)

Canon 300 f/2.8 L IS - MichaelTM 2008-07-14 08:36:32 (25 views)

oh, I'm sorry, did you mean link to my listing? - MichaelTM 2008-07-15 11:38:31 (27 views)
