New Lens Day Woo Hoo !!

The day has finally come my new Canon 500mm mk2 lens is due to be delivered today, I am meeting up with the previous owner to do the deal !

Upon inspection it is in near mint condition, complete with flight case and all the bits and bobs that go with it.
Like a buffoon I forgot to bring an Arca Swiss plate with me so all the shots I took with it are hand held, and I must say I am very impressed with the results.
We met up at Bossenden Woods coldest day of the year so far but hey ho!

These were all shot using Canon 5dmk4 and the Canon 500mm f4 L IS MK2

Coal Tit 1/250th @ f7.1 ISO 640

 Robin 1/125th @ f7.1 ISO 400

 Nuthatch 1/400th @ f7.1 ISO 640

 Nuthatch 1/320th @ f7.1 ISO 400

Blue Tit 1/320th @ f7.1 ISO 400

Nuthatch 1/320th @ f7.1 ISO 400

Nuthatch 1/500th @ f7.1 ISO 400

All the above shots had varying amounts of exposure compensation applied so as to retain the detail in the white bits on the birds.

I am over the moon with this purchase its an outstanding lens one that I thought was out of reach for me, I look forward to getting it on a tripod to see what it can do.
