Great shots....great details.
Sigma 150-600 Sports combined with Canon 7D MkII is a great combo.....even @ f6.3.
How far was the chick..??
Have read reviews about the AF accuracy of this lens,what is your experience with the AF speed ,especially when compared to primes....??

Thanks.

Thank you Pixphatic!
Grebe was close,maybe about 30 ft! AF,is fast and accurate,but sometimes tough to lock on,on BIF,but not much different than the version one,canon 500 f/4 I used to own.With IS ( os ),turned off in good light,it performs satisfactory.This is my first third party lens,and I,m really liking it.my 400 f/5.6,usually sits at home,now. At 6.96 lbs,it,s heavy enough,but I,m getting used to it.Now I just have to carry 2 bodies with me.( 7dmk11,5dmk111)

I,m talking about turning it off,under great light when doing BIF,as,OS , seems to slow down the AF,so, with it off,acquisition becomes quicker,and you can lock on the bird faster.havent used it on a tripod yet,as I hate carrying it around.BTW,i always turned image stabilization off,even on the canon glass,providing I have high shutter speeds!
