How do you like it?

If not, what telephotos do you use? My 200 is getting to be a bit of a problem with its shortness.
I use a 500/f4, but I wouldn't recommend starting there, unless money just falls out of your pockets. The 100-400mm is an old, but fantastic lens. Up until a few weeks ago, it used to be my first recommendation as a lens for someone starting into wildlife and birds. Now, I'd urge you to also consider the Tamron 150-600mm for around $1,100. It's getting rave reviews and I've seen lots of great shots taken with it. The difference between 400mm and 600mm is huge when it comes to birds.
