Thanks! Yeah I gotta leave that 1.4 extender at home next time I go out.. the difference is subtle but notable in my book.
Found this Anna's Hummingbird today. Awfully difficult to get this shot with my 70-200 as it was at the top of a tree (and very tiny!)... it's 100% crop [:|]... I see a new lens in my future. Well here's for makin-do.

50D 70-200L F4 IS @ F4 1/500 iso 100 (~100% crop!) [Also my first attempt to link from Flickr]

DUDE! That's a 100% crop! I never would have guessed....
Great shot James. Itseems to be a bit oversharpened, try to use less sharpening next time.

Bloody great for a 100% crop though! Nice one.
Thanks Brendan and John. Here was the full-size cropto prove it. Between the 70-200L IS F4's awesome glass and 15 megapixels of the 50D, was able to salvage something. And it's fair to say it has a bit oversharpend look to it... side-effect of over-compensating for the short telephoto. I'll try to make it more subtle next time (or get a longer lens [:D]).

Here is the real 100% crop, the only PP was Adobe Camera Raw set to 25 on the sharpening (nothing in photoshop besides save for web). Probably could use a little unsharp mask... but this is pretty close to right off the camera.

That looks WAY better James. Notso over sharpened....[Y]

Hi All,
i enjoy (and have used) Bryan's reviews, so it's time to share some results.
This was taken this morning just outside Boulder, CO. Call it 'Colonel Blackbird'. C&C welcome.
