Another variable is the lens. The Canon 400 f/2.8 hasn't lived up to its
promise, at least under field conditions. In controlled tests it gives me very
high resolution with high-contrast subjects but with lower-contrast subjects
there's something lacking that the 400mm f/6.8 delivers with ease. HOWEVER, my
waxwing photos made with the 400mm f/6.8 also show little detail in the
feathers. It's the bird!
