I intend to post some images with this combination tomorrow or on Tuesday.

I anticipate this to be a VERY widely used body/lens combination along with the 1.4x TC due to the 7D2's ability to focus at f/8.

Feel free to post your images in the meantime.

How well does the AF work with this combo?

Without being able to give you anything more than my impression, I'd say very nicely. I was able to focus on a hawk's eye in amongst branches and leaves without finding I was noticing any great delay. Accuracy seemed fine as well.

I would say the AF works better or as good as the Tamron 150-600 at 600mm.

I used to have a 400 5.6L, I had no doubt it'd perform well with a 1.4TC on a camera designed for AF at f/8. I'm more impressed with how clean the ISO 6400 shot is with the 7D2.

Man these pics look great with the 400 5.6L lens the very same lens I have on my 7DI, this is a great lens for the money.. Auto focus is working well with the 1.4 at f8...

Tony--what version of the 1.4x did you use? (I, II, III) Thanks and great shots!

I use both the Canon III and Tamron, with similar results.

Nice sequence Bill! Is that with your new 7D MKII?

I think the 400mm 5.6L belongs to a lens group that is limited to the central AF Points even without a TC. When I mounted it on my 5D3, I could only choose the central 9 points (of the 61point array).

Great bang for the buck though.

The 400/5.6L is a group B lens on the 7D2

ALL 65 points available. Standard-precision, cross type AF at each point. All AF area options can be selected.

With 400/5.6L on the 5D3 I can choose 15 cross type points not 9.

Here are a few BIF with the 7D II and 400mm 5.6. After a little experimentation I am currently using 21 points with a 9 point cluster. Focus limiter is helpful in getting more keepers for me.

Anyone have action sports with this 7DmkII + 400 f/5.6 combo?
At higher ISO and shutter speed combinations?
