rstrick2 thanks for your comments on the tamron as the price of 2300$ for the new canon 100-400mm is out of reach for me. Yes I think the 600mm reach makes it a nice birding lens. Have you had any success with handholding this lens or do you use it mainly on a tripod. Happy Holiday!!
If the Tammy is a little heavy for you to hand hold for the convenience use a monopod, just to take away that front end weight. Less lugging around than a tripod
