Reach is addicting. I was so close to ordering the 80D just now, but stopped myself short.

Out shooting with the II + 1.4xIII, and was starting to get dismayed by the softness of the results on the back of the camera. Well, after getting home and getting them into Lightroom my reservations were quickly dispelled. Just excellent results with the combo, no need to worry at all! I figured out long ago not to judge IQ by chimping because you won't see the full quality of your shots, so this was a refresher!

Robin shot is full, no crop.

The 'pecker is heavy crop. Those guys are tricky to shoot, very wary of you!

heh, heh, heh.... I would have liked to catch the look on your face ! :lol:
Looking back I probably should have hung around a bit, but at the time I was game to move on !

The lens is sweet, I'm really starting to enjoy it coupled with the 7D II and rarely use anything else. :-)

Very cool perspective.

Right down the chute ! I didn't want to stay on the ground too long in from of him, maybe enticing him to come play with me, so it was shoot and run ! As you probably know, these guys are pretty fast on the ground when they want to be, Wayyyy faster than me I am sure without testing the theory. :eek: I appreciate the compliment, Thanks !
