i am currently using 1D4 with 800 5.6 but my wife is using 7D with 400 5.6 ..

i often find myself asking my wife if i can borrow her lens .. for a number of reasons;
1/ shorter min. focal distance  .. only 3.5 compare with 6m on my bigger lens
2/ lighter and easier to handheld
3/ relatively fast focusing  ..

Here is an example of the 400mm 5.6 in action .. the yellow-backed sunbird is with 7D 400 5.6 and the other is 400mm 5.6 with 1D4 ..

my wife likes to use a tripod with this lens whereas i tend to handhold ..
