I'm looking for help in identifying the best realistic lens option for bird watching.
I already have a Canon 75-300 DO IS but its not long enough for use from hides at the nature reserves and I'm not sure how effective an extender would be on this lens.
I am considering the Canon 100-400, 300mm F4 and the 400mm F5.6 all coupled with a 2x Canon extender. My preference is probably for a prime lens and for the AF to work with the extender fitted. Image stabilisation is also desirable to allow realistic handholding of the larger lens.
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
Regards
Mark
