Superb detail and rigid structure
Assembly of the kit is quite straightforward providing you read the instructions step by step. The detail is superb and the layers of card, once glued together, form a rigid structure. This is my sixth Metcalfe card kit to place on my model railway layout.

A great product
My new turntable has a headphone output on the front. I used the above jack plug to make a neat and tidy connection to my sound bar. A great product!

Canon EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Zoom Lens
I wanted a multi-purpose lens for photographing wildlife whilst out walking. This versatile lens fits the bill very well. The image stabilization(IS)is a great help when lighting conditions are poor. This feature allows the use of a slower shutter speed with less risk of camera shake.
The lens focuses down to about six feet making it ideal for larger butterflies and dragonflies. By attaching a 21mm extension tube it will allow much closer focus on smaller insects and also flowers.
At maximum zoom it gives a magnification of 8x making it suitable for shots of birds and distant mammals. If used on a DSLR the 1.6x "crop factor" will give the effect of even more magnification, equivalent to 12.8x. For most subjects the autofocus(AF)system works well except in poor light when the manual override comes in useful. The Ultra Sonic Motor allows near-silent focusing on sensitive subjects.
My only minor criticism is when photographing smaller birds in flight. The lens often "hunts" whilst attempting to lock focus resulting in some missed shots. There is a range limiter switch which does help achieving focus in some situations.
To sum up, this lens suits my style of photography. It is not too heavy for carrying on my shoulder over long distances. The tripod collar can be removed when not required making the lens lighter. I use it for all forms of wildlife and occasional portraiture, architecture and landscape work. In my opinion a great all-round lens.
