Hello,
I'm considering selling my 400mm f/5.6 and buy a 300mm f/4 + 1.4x (I can't afford f/2.8)
After reviewing my photos I came to the conclusion that most of them are of still, small birds, whether in bushes/trees or on the shoreline/wet lands. Only a few are BIF.
Most of my birding sessions take place when I go out for a hike in the countryside or in forests, sometimes light is not plenty
I often wish I had IS when I find myself trying to focus a bird handheld, and I know many of my "missed photos" are due to the lack of it.
I know 400mm f/5.6 quality is better but I don't think it is overwhelming better than the 300mm f/4 1.4x combo (correct me if I'm wrong).
So am I thinking right? Should I change?
Thanks,
Miguel
