Anyone here shoot birds with an X-T2 and possibly the 100-400?

Here are a couple. Neither is anything special though. I haven't had a chance to get out and shoot much since making the Fuji switch.
One with the 100-400.

The XT-2 is a "Transformer". By that I mean with the 28 mm Pancake it is a concealable street shooter. Add the 100-400 (and possible teleconverter) with battery grip and you now have an amazing wildlife shooter, including birds (and Birds in Flight). I use it all the time for birds. I'm not at home on my processing computer, otherwise I would share one or two photos.

Nice shots! Just got my 100-400 this week and using it on a X-T2... Haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet...

How does it play with the tele converters ? ? ? Does it impact AF speed and IQ much ? ? ?
