## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with a mount**
A: Collar mount, Lens hood, bag.  All L lenses come with these things.  Well, some are small enough they don't need a collar.

**Q: looking for a telephoto this range in price that is good for sports and wildlife will this lense help me?**
A: If you are a pro, shooting for NatGeo or AP Sports (and they pay for it), you should definitely get the EF 200 2.8 IS for $12,000 or more.  If not, this lens without IS and obviously not as fast, still gives you quite sharp images (at a fast shutter speed) that can be very much appreciated. Still nice bokeh at 5.6 at this focal length as well and sooo much more easy to haul.  If you have something like a 5D III you can go upstairs with the ISO settings and you should end up to be a happy camper and - with a cropped sensor EOS - like the 70D - you got yourself a 650mm f5.6, it ain't so bad either (think birds).

**Q: I am into Bird Photography. Can you do handheld shots with this lens without image stabilization?**
A: Camera shake will result in blurred images at shutter speeds of less than 1/125 seconds, especially with a heavy telephoto lens. This lens has a fixed f stop of 5.6. Hence the best determinant of whether you can take hand held shot, without image stabilizer, is to take test picture on Aperture Priority Mode at f5.6 and see what the shutter speed is, for that ISO setting. If it is slower than 1/125 sec camera shake is likely. One can increase the ISO setting (ex. from 200 to 400 or higher) and re-check to get a faster shutter response.  Photographing birds, one needs to have shutter speeds of at least 1/250 sec to freeze the action, if that is the desired effect. If not motion blur will occur.

**Q: i have a rebel T2i...will the lens work with my camera?**
A: Hi Christie, yes the 400mm/f5.6L will work just fine with your camera, and since you're shooting with a crop sensor camera, (I think 1.6) his lens will be an 640mm lens on your camera, so you will have a lot of "reach". It is a very nice lens, so have fun with it!!Stephan
