Has anyone ever used a Canon 400mm f5.6L with success? I was about to chuck it into the lake after not getting (any) good shots today. lol I even used a remote but no luck, can the dioptric dial be my problem? The birds look good through the eye-piece but when I enlarge my shots to view, they are blurred. Now I know the lens does not have "is" but I thought with my shutter speeds at 1/4000 I would get some sharp shots. Any thing really close has not been a problem. I am adding 2 shots. Am using auto-focus is that a mistake? Any help would be "very much" appreciated.

Unedited shots..
