Those images are very good! Still very sharp. The kenko TC seems to work well on the canon lens

Tdodd, very valid points! The 100-400 costs slightly more but I'm still getting a 400mm range with the versitility and it has IS aswell. How well does it work with the TC attached?

Yeah footman, there's plenty of good points for each lens! Just need to narrow it down to which would suit the best.

Hi Phil, tried that one and they said they would look into maybe a grant but obviously never bothered

Hi demilion, I don't get paid for taking any of my photos at the sports matches. "Big camera and big lens, oh mark will take pictures for us" I'm a charity case :-). I find my 70-200 f4 is getting great shots so I want to buy another decent lens but don't want to be putting myself out seeing as...

Yeah Phil might just do that and take a few pics with both.

That's a good point Phil! Il always have my 70-200mm in my bag! Have you used the 400mm prime?

Hi mj, did you ever hear of hurling? Well camogie is the same but played by women. 15 players on each side and each has a hockey like stick

Yeah squishy it's hard to know what to do, as a hobbie it's an expensive game and since I bought my first L lens I won't settle for anything less. Wish I could just buy them all :-)

Hi Olly, Gaelic football and camogie for my local club. My 70-200 is great for it but sometimes I'm just a bit too far away from the action so I wanted a bit more zoom

Hi Olly thanks for suggesting that but I'm in northern Ireland but you could post it to me ! Lol just kidding. This is my thinking....I have the 70-200 and the 17-40 so I'm well covered there. Just thought I should have a long prime lens in my bag as my next purchase

Hi nissanman, the 7d is a cracker? I got mine at Xmas and used it for my first sports shots a few weeks ago. It truly is a camera for action....superb! Hope that the 100-400mm will give me a complete package if I go for it

Hi Olly! That's the first positive view on the 400mm! So you've had both and you prefer the prime. You can still manage with the prime but would the zoom make that much of a difference in your view?

Going to be using it during the day, never need it for night time. But as a matter of interest can you explain this to me so I know for again?

Thanks guys! I'm only at photography a year and a half and appreciate all your help. Think my minds been made up.....100-400mm it is
