The 400DO lens had been with us for two and half years. Not too many shots taken, not to mention good ones. Some people had questioned about the sharpness of this lens. We are convinced that at the same price as 500 f4, it is not as sharp as the Canon killer lens. Anyway with more practice, we believe more good handheld shot would be made possible. « Last Edit: May 22nd, 2006, 9:18pm by Uncle_Tall » Logged John Holmes BBS Member BBS God     Posts: 103 Re: Brown-breasted Bulbul 黃臀鵯 (Jiangxi 江西) « Reply #1 on: May 23rd, 2006, 8:20am » Quote Modify Uncle Tall,   We've had the 400mm DO lens for a couple of years and I must say we like it a lot, especially for travelling. It weighs 1.9 kg compared to 3.8 kg for the 500mm (but a lot less than 5.3 kg for the 600mm!).     We found that 20D didn't always grab the focus of the 400mm DO as well as we would have hoped, especially in low forest light or for moving objects.  But we still got some good pictures (mainly in China) with the 20D/1.4/400 DO combination.     Jemi was pleased with the results when she used the 400mm DO lens with a 10D a while ago. However, for about 18 months she used a 20D /300mm/1.4x while I used the 20D/1.4x/400mm DO. Sometimes, when we photographed the same bird, her shots were sharper !   It's not just the lens, of course, it's the camera and technique as well. I've recently upgraded to a 1D MK II. It is heavy, but it really pulls in the focus, and seems to get the most out of the lens.  I'll try to post a couple of recent examples on Photo Gallery 1.   John Logged http://johnjemi.hkbirds.net/ pippenho BBS Member BBS God I'm loving eat!     Gender: Posts: 644 Re: Brown-breasted Bulbul 黃臀鵯 (Jiangxi 江西) « Reply #2 on: May 23rd, 2006, 10:06am » Quote Modify Uncle Tall   Nice shot, adjust the level and more sharpen in PS will bring out the details, and I agree with John that the camera body make a lot of differences.   Pippen Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I => Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
