100-400mm MII Answers
Apr 12, 2020 19:29:22 #
We took a walk on the Susquehanna River at the Hiawatha Landing with the 100-400mm MII only. There are many questions about this lens and misunderstandings. I am showing the versatility if you have just this lens on a walk.
First is at 100mm of a Cherry Tree.
Second is a Bumble Bee.
Third is a Dandelion
Fourth is a Goose way out on the river at 400mm.
Fifth is a Trout Lilly.
The flowers are quite small, perhaps about an inch or a bit more across, the bumble bee most know how small they are, the goose was about 1/2 way across the river.
This should help answer questions about what a great lens this is for a walk on the river or in the woods. The close-ups were all at about 400mm.

It is a great and very versatile lens and your photos show it!
Thx.
This subject comes up a lot and I wanted to really show besides being a long zoom it is an incredible near macro lens.

Nice set. I especially like your Trout lily image. It is one of my favorite plants.

That is why I have owned the first model and now the second model.

That is why I will never part with mine. Well, not until Canon introduces an RF version that is at least as good or better.

The Canon EF 100-400mm second generation zoom L lens is superb. Though the ability to bring the far near is everything that one would expect, this lens' short-range focusing capability at full extension was a happy surprise - it is not, strictly speaking, a macro lens, but it is something very close to that. If one regards this lens as a hammer, much of what is visible can be seen as nails.Apr 13, 2020 06:50:47 #

Take a look at this Teardown of the Lens to see how well built it is.

The Canon 100-400 II is one of the greatest zooms out there. It is however, IMHO, NOT a walk around lens I would want to carry all day. But for a 1/2 to hour walk, no issues.

Depends on health.
I do carry it all day if needed. But I do not climb mountains for a whole day. I usually stop, look sit, eat and do other things on a day out and about.

Is that the landing by Newberry? The river is pretty wide there
Yes, it is. They were out there.
No cropping though as I wanted to show reach as well.
