Ever tried the 300 f/2.8 on them ? Not yet but im going to give it a go and use my mk2 as it will focus faster than my 5d - my only concern is that by the time iv tracked them and got focu's they may be to small in the frame conpared with the 500f4. a lot of luck's needed on these bird's thats for sure - there going one way and within a 10th of a sec the oposite way lol "The LensMaster Gimbal"
