These will soon leave, if they haven't yet. Taken with a 7D II and a 100-440 MkII or a 400 DO MkII.

Lovely...I think that 400 DO II is quickly gaining favor for many of us.

Thanks, Eric Yup! It is a great performer, even with the 1.4xTC, and it has replaced my 500mm.

Beautifully done Socrate
Lovely catchlight bokeh and wing position
How is the focus with 1.4 tc

A great set Socrate. The IF shots are extra nice, but the detail in 9 makes it stand out ~ Ron

Wonderful images, Socrate. Tack sharp, great detail and tones with great action. #1,3,7 are my favorites.
Which case AF did you use for your 7D Mark 2, Socrate?

Thank you, KD. The 1.4xTC slows down a bit the AF speed, especially if you set the AF range to "Full".

Thank you, Tam. I use AF Case 1. I tend to use the camera to its factory settings and so far I'm happy how my 7D II performs (I actually have two 7D MKII) and I haven't had the need to change any AF settings.

Thank you Morris. I was able to get really close to the skimmers crawling on my stomach for more than two hours, until I saw they realized I wasn't a threat I use this technique with all the shore birds. I'm sure you do the same
