I have read many post about the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM vs. the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM. After careful consideration I decided that the zoom lens would be more versatile for what I was hoping to shoot (wildlife & sports in good light). Recently I have read a few posts from people who have bought the 100 400mm and feel that they have got a soft copy, i.e. soft at 400mm wide open. This concerns me as I was going to buy the lens on holiday in America and while I will use the lens when on holiday I will not have my laptop with me so it will be difficult to tell if I have a good copy or not.
So to sum up I guess my questions are,
1. Should I be worried about buying a soft copy of the 100 400 L
2. If on returning home to the UK if I think it is soft what can I do? i.e., repair by Canon UK
3. Would I be better buying the 400mm f5.6 prime
Any advice would be great,
