During my week in the UK I picked up a 400 2.8 IS, always wanted to try this beast and it does not disappoint! Figured I could try something more demanding with a 2xTC.

5DIII, 4002.8IS, 2xTC, f8

I love these snow "underlit" shots it really brings out the depth of colour in the kites.

I think I would have cropped it to be slightly lower in the frame in a tue thirds position :confused: - but it's also fine as it is :toast:

Hi Neil, I like this as is :wink: bought a 400 2.8 mk2 myself last week and it is very impressive and is sharp with both the 1.4 & 2x mk3 converters :smile:

Thanks. Mike, what do you mean? Moving it down would put it at half way, not a third?
