Immature Bald Eagle Flies By by dcstep, on Flickr
The eagles are still around here. I'll be taking snow shots this weekend. We're expecting up to 18". Dave

Thanks guys.
That was an amazing moment. I'd stood around for a couple of hours, with nothing happening, then an eagle flew right over me: Immature Bald Eagle Flies By by dcstep, on Flickr and then I, literally, turned around to see the coyote.

Thank you Garen.
My new EF 500mm f/4L IS II keeps blowing me away. It's only supposed to be a teeny, tiny bit sharper than my old Series I, but I keep noticing that the images are really, really sharp. That shot was at 1/2000-sec., so the improved IS shouldn't be the factor. Both had accurate focus, so I'm at a loss to explain my recent IQ improvement, other than it must be that the new lens is even sharper. Can't put it down... Dave

Could be your older one is a tiny bit out of whack? I've never micro adjusted mine, but I'm tempted to give it a try sometime. I just worry about making it worse

Everyone should try this test. Shoot a flat road sign, in good light at f/8.0, about 50-feet away, with shutter speed up at 1/2000, on the tripod. Shoot it first with the AF sensor, using the viewfinder, using single-shot quiet mode; then don't move anything and go to 10X Live View, focus and shoot. Look at them side by side at 200% and if they're the same, then you need no micro-adjustment. If the sharpness improves, then you need an MA. You can lay them right on each other and see even the smallest difference. I went back to look at old reviews and found this one saying the same thing that I'm seeing: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/R...ns-Review.aspx Dave
