She's a beauty! Wish that shadow wasn't there, but it shows the lens sharpness well. I like the bg too.

Beautiful Shot. I'm glad you included the larger image. It really shows the detail it picked up.

True, the image would have looked a bit better without the shadow, but what could one do about that ? Perhaps wait for the bird to move elsewhere to a fully lit spot, but such opportunity might have never arisen. Many times, regardless of the photographer's skill, we just have to make the best of what is given to us.
(Incidentally, I infinitely prefer a shadow over a well photographed and presented bird, than snapshots of fully lit "Half-birds" )

Most importantly, I think Rory's shot illustrates the 400 DO MkII capability well.

I'll keep checking this thread for any pearls of wisdom regarding removing the shadow. I get these and have tried everything to remove them.

Waiting patiently for the..."ah hah that's how it's done"... post.

Rory has one without the shadow and it's super sharp and detailed. I've seen it and hopefully he'll see this and post it here.

I just posted a good technical shot for evaluation of the lens. I agree the shadow is undesirable, but it is of interest to see how the lens rendered the shadow... I did not lift the shadow when processed in LR. The 400 DO does a reasonable, but not exceptional bokeh, has excellent detail and contrast and exhibits very little flare. If anyone wants to see more images they can visit my website via my profile.

Cheers
Rory

Great detail in this shot with the 1.4x and nice bokeh -- not busy at all!

Very nice shot! I guess the 7D2 can take sharp shots after all. Any 2x shots?

Thanks for posting,
Chris

Looks like the lens is working well. As presented the image looked okay but once I went to the Larger Image link and looked at full res it is looking really good.

I shot with the 2X III once, with mixed results - mostly operator stuff getting used to the combo. We have had pretty dark weather so it has been a lower priority. However, I have uploaded two CR2 files to here.
400 DO + 2X sample CR2 files

The file 2015-01-16_0015.CR2 is shooting at a headlight to see if there was any flare.

The file 2015-01-16_1015.CR2 is the best shot in a set shooting the 12233 chart at various MFA's. This one was +2.

Hope this is of assistance.

The shot is great and I would much rather see it with the shadow than the with shadow cloned out.

Thanks for posting this. I can't believe how sharp that lens is with the 2x and with the crop camera. That is some serious, serious resolving power.

I am probably going to have to downgrade from my 500L to this due to shoulder issues. I'll lose some AF speed, but this should soften the blow somewhat.

Thanks again,
Chris
