Re:41.
What lens did you use. Was it an ‘L’ lens?
I have a 55-250IS that takes nice ‘snapshot’ pics. But wildlife, cropped shots are soft.
My son has a huge L lens that takes razor sharp pics and I’m trying to justify dropping $1300 on an L lens.
Canon Ti DSLR.

Here's what it says on the lens:

"Canon Zoom Lens EF 100-400mm 1:4.5-5.6 L IS"

So, it appears to be an L lens. The separate letter "L" is red on the camera like I typed it. It cost about $1,500 brand new seven years ago. It has been a great lens. It is small enough to hand hold when taking pictures.

FYI, the picture in post 41 was hand held through the window of my car, which was running. Exposure time was 1/800th of a second, the f stop was 10, and the ISO was 800.
