Hey, I rented a 100-400mm lens from Desmond(Lowest rental service in town) and its awesome! Except that I forgot to bring my tripod that day, so when I reached home my hand was like coconut jelly...
Anyway, share some of your wonderful experiences with that bazooka, I will start the ball rolling...
All pics were taken @ East Coast park & Changi Beach area.
This image's a little fuzzy, because I forgot to set the IS mode to Mode II... :embrass:
More images at next post.
What happened to the pics. I only see a red x.

On crop, the 100-400 is pretty neck and neck with the 400 5.6 except at the corners.

The pics are still up with their gloriously massive watermarks.
The FREE web host is very unpredictable... 1 day it can open the next day cannot.. Still looking for a more permanent solution.

If i am going to buy 100-400 vs 400, i would use these site for reference only and rent both lens to make my own decision.
Like i said earlier, i stress on versatility. At this moment i am holding prime lens but as some time down the road i will add zoom in my collection.
I've organised a trip for plane spotters! link here: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=806467
Pls support me!

).I was planning to do plane spotting but i think i can only meet you guys.
How heavy is your setup? I am only bringing a 50mm f1.4 USM, a 100-400mm and my 400D. What's your setup?Bro want to support you, but my setup is so heavy and you wrote want to bicycle (cannot hang on back all the time

Yes, it's only for reference. For my needs, I chose the 100-400 as it was more versatile. The AF is slower on the 100-400 versus the 3 primes but I'm ok with that.

I imagine you're built like a tank.:bsmilie:
I've a few questions about bird watching in SG:
1) where do you guys go to shoot birds?
2) have you considered using mirror lenses? eg. Tamron 500mm f8, or Sigma 600mm f8?

I am building my right shoulder :bsmilie:.
1- I am still exploring.
2- Instead of mirror i will try normal lens, Mirror lens has circle in bokeh (and i don't think IQ will be same as normal lens, but again i never tried one so cannot be very confident with my answer).
HAHAs... I assume you're bringing around 4-5 bazooka primes... :embrass:

600 is enough already, no need extra bazokas
.Mirror lens for birds, it is super challenging. Unless they don't move. Once they start walking around, you can almost give up shooting them

I know it will be challenging. Care to share your experience with the SY 500mm? Is this lens good?
