Thinking of buying an EOS 1D Mk.III and wanted to know if anyone out there has any experience of what this body is like to use with the 100-400mm L IS.
I currently use this lens on a 5D which is very good but am now fed up with the dark corner problem aggrevated with a DSLR’s full frame sensor.
Also nice to have the 10fps and the 1.3 magnification for fighters doing their thing at air shows.
The 1D3 seems to be plauged by AI Servo issues so any comments on this would also be welcome if you own a 1D3.
Thanks.

I’ve been using a 1D Mk3 since July, in conjunction with a Sigma 70 – 200 F2.8, and the 100 – 400 L. I’ve had no focusing problems that could not be attributed to the user and have found it to be a great camera.
A selection of shots can be found here, the majority taken with the 100 – 400 here

Perhaps the MOST comprehensive and up to date info on the Mk.III focusing issue can be had at POTN. From the last few pages that I have read about this issue (they have several threads) Firmware v1.1.1 is available and its sort of helps (some folks are happy some are not) and there is a post dated 27th September from Rob Galbraith who says that the Canon is working very hard on this issue. So it WILL be solved.

If you cant wait for an APS-H body then the Mk.IIN is still the benchmark that the Mk.III get compared to and its got a blistering 8.5fps @ 8.2MP RAW.
