Hello

I wanted to say a big thank you to every one who has responded to my questions. I have been on many forums and can say this is the best I have come across and I wanted to say a big thank you and shout out to.  ScottyP ebiggs1 TTMartin RobertTheFat cicopo Waddizzle . You are all very helpful and my many thanks.

You guys are fantasic while I have still not made my mind up weather I made the right choice sigma 150-600 vs canon 100-400 mk2. I have a alot of respect for canon products all be it a bit exspensive I finally decided to go with the canon mk2 100-400 I am still on the fence what to do with the 300 f4 and 70-200 mk1 2.8 as these lenses are heavy things to carry.

I did want to say my exsperience with my mk1 2x extender is it makes the quality very bad almost grainy when I look through the view finder so tend to stick to the 1.4.

I have managed to get the 100-400 mk2 for £1200 thats $1674.00 which is a grey import from austrailia  I saved myself £600/$837. In the UK we do get ripped off on prices that europe and america pay.

But apart from that wanted to say thanks to every one I will be uploading a video on reviewing it as I can compare it to the 300 + 1.4 extender. It does seem the extra reach at 400mm is not that much or shall we call it 370mm.

But wanted to say thank you out of the many forums out their you guys are the best. Regards Paul.

Perhaps, but I have been using Autocad since the 1980s.  Over the years I have used dozens of computer languages.  I think the biggest obstacle to learning how to use it will be the hideous documentation arrangement.

Yes, I picked up a copy.  It was a rainy messy day, so used my T5 and the Rokinon 85mm T1.5   Shot indoors, BTW, without any flash, at T2.2  This was done in LR6 and ACR9.4, however, with lens correction.

BIG BIRD

The paint on the rear wall looked as if sand had been mixed into it, so if it looks grainy that's because that's what it looked like.

This brid was pretty big.  Sorry, I neglected to take a shot of the nameplate  I want to say that it was a type of owl, but I am sure that I have got it wrong.  I want to go back when it is better weather, with a better camera and lens.

But, boy was it big.  The size of the head and body combined was about the size of cinder block.  BIG BIRD.  At one point, it had turned its' head towards me, and the feathers gave it wide face for a bird, almost like the Sesame Street character, but not quite as round.

The bird is staring up at a skylight.  I felt sorry for it.
