So what did you decide? Cause these shots are excellent. Although, #7 may be a bit soft.

I think my mk2 has a problem as I took that today also,it had my 70-200f2.8Lis on and never got a shot worth keeping with it.So I guess its of to Canon with it.

Bummer. I would try another lens, non-IS first though. I had a problem with my old 100-400L IS taking soft shots too and it turned out when Canon got it, that it needed the IS unit replaced.

Great shots, esp. the first and last. I don't think the problem is you. --Rick

Those are some really nice shots you got. I've fired so many frames at swallows, trying to capture one of those little buggers, with little to no success. You first shot (swallow) is really nice.

I use my 1dmk2 and 300f2.8 for just about everything thats why I put the 300 on the wifes 30d so no problems with the lens as you can see.

I like the Oyster Catchers best, but they are all sharp

Its definitely the MarkII because these are some really splendid photos. I really like the swallow shots...they are swift little dodgers. Your Wife's 30D appears to be no slouch.
