Spent a couple days shooting with this lens and the 1.4X III on the 7D2 in Belize, often with poor or marginal light. I think the results are good. I will be posting some examples soon.

digitalparadise Awaiting the title ferry...  More info Post edited over 5 years ago by digital paradise. | Mar 10, 2018 19:35 | #7742 Archibald wrote in post #18582280 Also on a 7D2 with a TC.

The only reason I stopped using it on my 7D2 is I like to use all the AF modes and at f8 I'm limited to centre or 4 point expansion. If a 7D3 comes out I hope that will be remedied. Image Editing OK

Got back to the beaver pond today. This time before sunrise. Light was too low to get any image of the beaver without a 5DIV. After they went to bed an otter showed up. It was gathering grass. From what I've read this afternoon it is to line a nest. I may have some cubs to photograph this summer. Wouldn't that be great! Thanks Joe ... All my life I've never had a chance to shoot the little one's. There are otter's on every corner. Honestly I need to get out more. Jeff ........, 7D, 70-300L, 100-400LII

The problem is that some folk have seen wonderful results from this lens and dived straight in and bought it with very little knowledge of the handling of lenses this long. I saw one whinge, I think it was on DP, where someone was complaining about "soft and hazy" and it transpired that he had recently bought a used 7D with a kit lens and seeing the results from this lens, jumped right in and bought it as his "2nd lens"  It transpired that he had only ever used compact point and shoot cameras and this was his first foray into "serious" photography (as he put it)Thanks Bidkev

This lens was MADE for the 7D2! I’ve never had a better combo, and I’ve had a lot of combos. There is no systemic problem with this pair... Yes, will buy.

sploo premature adulation More info | Mar 11, 2018 03:19 | #7750 Pondrader wrote in post #18582242 I once belonged to a bow club shooting all types of bow and arrow... when someone said their bow was not functioning correctly I would take it left handed or right and put three arrows in a inch and a half circle.. then hand it back. I think it all comes down to mechanic's. I have that problem with guitars Camera, some lenses, too little time, too little talent

I was pleased with the crops of this GBH that was around 150 meters away. I could tell a difference in the focus speed and hunting on other objects that were not clean cut. But I think that should be expected knowing the f8 handicaps.  Image hosted by forum (903843) © GAJoe [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

It's got to the stage where I can only hold the 7Dmkll combo up for a few seconds and the GP is telling me that I'm not doing my bursitis any favour., What makes it worse is that I've just bought a metabones to use it on m43 but even that is too much as he says I shouldn't be lifting above chest height atm. Jeeez it's only 2.7kilos with the extender and I can remember a time that seems not so long ago, that I could lift 25k's with my left hand!
