Testing out my new Canon 400 mm DO II

Thought I would share a few more taken with my new Canon 400 mm DOII. Most of these are with a 1.4X III extender. I'm liking the results.

Nice shots and an impressive lens. You must have gotten it direct from Canon.

Waited 2 1/2 months from B&H. I think it was worth it. Distance =. about 25FT. Pretty significant crop on all of them. Like the combo of 400 mm + 1.4 converter and full frame 6D for perching birds. Not so good for BIF.

No. Do you see something that might suggest it might be a good idea. I would not try to do this myself and wound try to find a repair shop to do this for me.

Things look pretty good .....but it really should be done ! - with and without the TC - and at a sweet spot focus distance where you think most of your subjects will be . As I recall, I did mine around 40-50 feet.

Good suggestion. If I were to have a preferred distance it would be really close, but 40' to 60' seems like a reasonable expectation. I know you can get hardware to check the focus, but even Artie Morris has his checked by someone else. Interesting in one of his latest posts he stated he has a new 1.4 that he needs to have checked out. I am going to check with a shop in Pasadena to see whether they can do this for me. Obviously I want this lens to be right on.
Thanks for the suggestions Larry.

Hard to really appreciate until one views in download...wow! Especially those first two shots - the one of the dove is my favorite. The detail is superb and the background is amazing (OOF area), really stunning image.
