I tried a mate's 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM on my 5D-MkII a while back at a scale model aeroplane day. This photo was taken of a model jet turbine, at speed and at distance. This is a full 100% crop. You can even see the jet wash and exhaust haze at the rear. Here are the settings:

Not bad at all - I'd get one of these. It took a while to get used to a push-pull zoom but it really was a doddle after a while. Would I get the 400mm prime instead? Probably not, but I suppose a purist would. If the quality of the 100-400 is anything to go by, the prime would just have to be superb.
The 300 f/4L is a great lens as well - I've tried one for a day from the same friend.
