FWIW I feel the input conditions are a bit contradictory: compact but with both long reach AND the good lowlight capability/quality. Correct me if I am mistaken tho.
That's because you always have to hold the zoom ring of the 100-400L Mk I. I always found it great to use. set stiffness to zero beforehand, than aim at the bird at 100 mm, AF, and zoom in as far as required, AF again, slightly adjust focus if need be, and shoot.
I loved it, because it was so easy to use and very convenient with the push zoom ring. I actually hate the Mk II I currently have the way it works. It is much slower and much more awkward, having two separate rings, unless you own an EOS R6 or R5, which autofocus incredibly well with their bird-eye option.
Kind regards,Wim
