Personally i think for the money it is a bit of a white Elephant.

it'ds pretty dark at top end of focal length for that price.

How about getting the fixed focus 300mm F.4.

Its about 25% lighter in weight, a full stop brighter so makes it a lot more user friendly by about 2 stops which more than make up for the slight reduction in focal length.

The 300mm is 20% cheaper also so I'd be putting that saved money into a faster shorter focal option( either fixedd or fastish zoom) because I'd say a 1.4kg. F.4.5 100mm with a terrible minimum focusing distance as with the 100-400mm would be a dog, and chances are you are looking at that lens for the top end of the focal range anyway.

And I think the 'costs' of that extra focal length don't add up.

I'd definitely be trying both to compare.

What would you be putting it on?
