Constructive prompts, nudges even the odd KITA will be appreciated.
His Lofty Supremacy, Yelvertoft, kindly directed me here ... I'll be reading the threads for weeks but I'd love to get several views on this specific question ...
... Why is it not worth buying my new 100-400mm 4.5/5.6 L USM if I'm only going to use "Sport" setting for shots of vulture take-offs, landings and fly-bys ... very rarely against sky background (I have tested the locations with video XM2, now I want great stills)??

Hi vulture, did I say it wasn't worth buying the 100-400 if you are using Sports mode? If so, I apologise, its not what I meant

I definately remember urging you to try out using AV and come here to have a read though!
