Hi All,

to the piccie taking experts amongst us, I have another fairly straight forward question to those with the 'knowledge'...

Chris (hotspur) has the Canon EF 400mm 5.6L USM lens and obviously knows how to use it. Am i right in thinking that theoretically the more expensive EF 100-400 f4.5-5.6L IS USM lens can do all that Chris's lens can do, and more.

I'm not talking about skill levels here, - just the theory. I'm trying to understand all the jargon, and work out how it all hangs together. It seems to me the zoom model could be a bit more versatile, plus you get IS which for handheld pics must be invaluable surely?

Any thoughts anyone?
