I've tried outside the lense widely at my bird feeders. I locate the 400mm DO Mk2 to execute extremely well. Please see the evaluation "headshot" of a Tufted Titmouse.

Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM review by Jonas

 

I didn't buy this lens but I could use it for a 2 weeks trip. The first version of this lens has been controversial because of poor contrast and flare problems. These issues have been corrected in the new version. Previously I had used a couple of...
