  2. Hi Ashley great set of pics these are a definate improvment just shows what good light can do. When I bought my 400mm I spent a long time looking and researching,and finally came to the conclusion it was the best in its range for the money. One site that helped to convince me was "Pauls Bird Images" its a guy called Paul Weston. Google it as there are some cracking images there and a lot of useful tips.
