Subic - Part IV

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Subic Bay has become my favorite testing ground for equipment. Last weekend, I field tested the 100-400 L IS with Tamron 2x TC here. Very satisfied with the field performance of the effectively 200-800 IS combo. Also in this trip, I was fortunate to get a lot of flight shots of the Green Imperial-Pigeon using the 20D + 400 5.6 L.
