a brief afternoon at Stansted on the 04 approach to practice and test settings on my newly acquired Canon EOS 6Dii with my Canon EF 70-300 combination before my extended session at Heathrow and Northolt over the following days, these were taken from the mound opposite the Novotel...

these last two were taken on my other combination of Canon 80D and EF100-400 which I'm still getting used to after selling my Sigma 150-600C which I was finding too heavy. I've got a 1.4x tele-converter that I sometimes use with this for birding to give me more reach and I'm finding that just about as good as the Sigma as long as the light is good enough for the F8 limitation of the converter. I took these without the converter.

Thanks for looking, I'll put some of my Heathrow ones on later (there's a lot to choose from!).

Nice set - looks like the changes are working for you. I also made the same lens/converter swap for both quality and weight. Hope you enjoy the new kit.
