I have both 100-400 zoom and 400 F5.6 lenses, on recent trips I have taken both lenses and chosen what to fit (on 7D now upgraded to 7D Mark 11) based on if I thought I'd be shooting mainly at full 400 or getting shots of close-up birds and animals. When doing this I missed a couple of really desirable shots by not being able to close focus with the 400.
So I'm thinking of taking just the 100-400 (and 1.4 extender) for trip to Ghana which will be a mix of forest and savannah birding / wildlife viewing and leaving the 400 behind.
(I'll take SX50 as back up and for Sarah to use rather then second body and other lens due to weight limits on hand luggage).
What would others do?
If I go down this route I suspect that 400 will become redundant.
