  1. Thank you for all your comments. I have found that I have only used my 300mm once since getting the 100-400mm, and that I hardly ever use the 40mm, so those are the two I have put up for sale.
  2. I have ended up with too many lenses for my EOS 100D (SL1, for you folks on the left-hand side of the pond), and I would like to reduce my collection in order to free up space / money / decision-making time ... I have got: 10-18mm IS 24mm f/2.8 40mm f/2.8 50mm f/1.8 85mm f/1.8 300mm f/4 100-400mm IS L II. I have already decided to get rid of the 300mm f/4; I just need to get around to it. And I am definitely keeping the 10-18mm and the 100-400mm. But of the 24mm, 40mm, 50mm, 85mm ... I really don't know. Any ideas?
  3. <p>I had just about decided on a 400mm f/5.6 and an EOS 80D ... when I got the news that I will be made redundant in a few months' time. So, I will be sticking with my current setup until I have a secure job.</p>
  4. <p>E. J., I don't think I really need the faster lens / shallower depth of field. The chief benefit would be that I could use a 400mm f/4 (in some form) with my current 1.4x extender and 100D body, and keep autofocus.</p>
  5. <p>I am very happy with my 100D. I am, however, considering an upgrade to an 80D so I can get autofocus at f/8 (more specifically, at f/5.6 with a 1.4x extender).</p>
  6. <p>I have two Olympus film cameras sat in a drawer, each with a partly-used film and a probably-dead-by-now Wein cell in. I should at least replace the batteries and finish the films before deciding whether to part with them.</p>
  7. <p>Thank you for your suggestions and comments. I will give it some more thought, and I will also let you know what I get.</p>
  8. <p>Hi everyone<br> I'd like a longer lens for birding and wildlife photography. I am currently using a 300mm f/4 lens on an EOS 100D body, sometimes with a 1.4x extender; I could spend up to £2,000 to get more reach. Options I am thinking about are:</p> <ol> <li>400mm f/5.6. Pros: cheap, light. Cons: I can't use the extender and keep autofocus unless I buy a new body as well; and no image stabilisation.</li> <li>400mm f/4 series I. Pros: fast, can use extender with autofocus, image stabilisation. Cons: expensive, heavy.</li> <li>100 - 400mm series I. Pros: zoom, image stabilisation. Cons: heavy.</li> <li>100 - 400mm series II. Pros: zoom, good image stabilisation. Cons: expensive, heavy.</li> <li>Lens options 1 or 3 with a new EOS 80D body. Pros: this will let me use the extender with autofocus. Cons: expense, heavy.</li> <li>Accept I can't get a great solution at my price point, and stick with my current set-up.</li> </ol> <p>Any thoughts?<br> Thanks<br> Andrew</p>
  9. <p>Thank you for the advice, everyone.</p>
  10. If I use a 100-400 and a 1.4x extender on my Eos 100D body, will I be able to use autofocus at the long end? I am aware that the effective aperture will only be f/8. Thanks
