Is the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM a good lens for wildlife?
Looking at purchasing a reasonably priced lens and see this is 1/2 the price of the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens.


All of the originals are a little bit on the soft side. The new version is tack sharp and a total improvement. I started with the original and bought the mk II when I saw from friends how sharp it is.

Probably so that it would get stuck in the throats of other people! IDK! LOL

But do they have wire gauge drill bits ?
Ace hdw. says they have them @ over $2 ea, plus the 52 mile r/t.


I was just going to suggest Ace hardware. 52 mile round trip isn't that bad. Just make the trip worth it and buy a few other things while you are there.

Microsoft has replaced my Chrome Browser with Edge. this happened only a few days ago. I have tried every method that I could find. None of the Google suggestions work. I cant even uninstall the Edge like most apps. I have windows 11 on a pc. Any suggestions?


When I upgraded my laptop to Win 11 it almost did the same thing to me. Luckily I told it to make Chrome my default during setup.

We are planning a trip to Alaska this fall (not a cruise). Would love any suggestions for binoculars that will help us see the wildlife and sites. Thanks!


If you visit Ketchikan or other places in the Aleutians you'll want a water resistant or water proof binoculars.

NEVER KNEW THIS WAS MADE.


Not that long ago they treated various illnesses with stuff like lead and other poisons. They would also do blood letting for infections.

I think Steve McQueen went to Mexico to have coffee ground put in his rectum for his cancer cure. It didn't work.

Hi! This is my first post. I take self portraits whenever I want to create something but no one else is around for me to capture. :-)


Pretty bold for being your first post here on UHH. Would like to see more of your work. You need a photographer. It's hard to setup for a shot and then scamper into it before the shutter releases automatically.

You probably should check the weights:

D500 - 29.6 oz. / 839g
Z7II - 24.5 oz. / 694g
Nikon 200-500 - 81.25 oz. / 2,300g (with collar)
Nikon Z 100-400mm - 50.1 oz. / 1435 g

You're talking about changing to a $3000 mirrorless camera to achieve a 5-ounce difference. Doesn't seem like that buys very much difference at all, when the lens is the overwhelming amount of the combined total weight, when keeping the 200-500. Changing lenses for the $2700 zoom gets a 35-ounce combined change, just over two pound of combined weight, about $162 per ounce or about a 22% reduction in combined total weight.

Good Morning Huggers:

I am a bird photographer and shoot with a Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500 zoom. I love this camera/lens and I have carried it for about 4 years now. However, it is getting too heavy for an all day (or almost all day) trip. I have decided to replace the body with a Nikon Z 7 and a zoom as yet to be determined. My current thinking is that I will need to go down to nothing longer than a 400mm. I know this will be a little short for what I get with the 200-500; however I think this will be OK, if my following assumption is correct.

Assumption:
My D500 is a C-crop sensor, so my 200-500 gives me an "effective" range of 750mm; the D500 provides 20mp of resolution. The Z7 is a full frame and has a resolution of 47mp. This is where I think I can compensate. Since the Z7 has more than double the resolution than that of my D500, does this not mean I can crop the Z7 image to get something very close to the size/quality of my current rig if I choose the right zoom for the Z7. I am currently thinking the Nikkor Z lens 100-400mm. This should give me a "effective" look of 800mm. Since I crop to a resolution that has 20+ MP - should this not be the same quality as I am now getting for my D500?

Do you agree with my assumption? I cannot find anyone nearby that has a FF camera with 40 or more MP to test this on or I would try to empirically determine this.

Thanks for any assistance and all the best!

Yes, do the math. You won't save that much weight. If the camera is too heavy to hand hold for your birding, then try a monopod. It's not hard to actually carry the weight, it's hard to hand hold that much weight as you are holding the camera up to your eye. Think about it.

A lot of lenses have a switch that turns the AF off. Check to make sure that switch is on.

You're talking about the springs that run the same direction as the tracks on either side I take it. I've never seen a door with those mine are the spring that has a rod that goes through the springs.


If this is the only kind of garage door you've ever encountered you must be very young. When I was a kid all garages were the old "lift up" style. They take the springs that Jerry is talking about. Some of them took just one spring on each side, and some take 2 on each side. The roll up door like yours has the spring above the door. Those can also break over time. I've had to replace 2 of them over the years. Luckily my doors weren't damage when they broke. I've seen a door that came crashing down and damage most if not all of the panels where the entire door had to be replaced. When mine broke the door only crashed down a few inches. If yours ever breaks, try to lift the door. They are very heavy and some if no most will not stay in the up position without the spring.

She has a great figure for a woman of 60. You don't see that very often except for some movie stars that have had a lot of work. I wonder if she has had some work done on her breasts. No kids?
