Thanks for the comments Chris - I would never use this combo to snap flowers normally (I find my 70-200 very good for this), nor am I in the habit of snapping the rear of cyclist - I was on a trial to see if I could hand hold the combo and was shooting anything in sight. What I hoped I have proved is that the Non IS 400mm f5.6 and 1.4 tc is handholdable and you can get sharp shots in good light.
