A big thank you for this posting. How inspirational!!I'm finally getting some of my warbler shots edited from May! I had another fantastic warbler migration, in Wisconsin, with 34 species and 3 different sub-species. I normally shoot with the 7D mkll / EF 500 f4 / 1.4xlll, but for 10 days I loaned the 1DX mkll and EF 800 f5.6 from Canon. I haven't edited any photos from the 1DX yet, because I'm still on Lightroom 5.7. I also recently purchased the 100-400 ll and used that as well this spring. The 100-400 is one amazing lens! It's as sharp as my 500 wide open and even at 560 f8, it's extremely sharp! I read reviews and saw what people on here have said, so I was hoping it was going to be great, but it has exceeded my expectations. I will post two sets of photos and all are taken with the 7d mkll and either EF 800, EF500 or EF 100-400 ll. I'm not sure if the names show on each picture, so I'll list them.

Beautiful shots. As you know, I have been praising the 100-400mm II for ever. It's just so sharp with very fast AF, and the 98cm MFD makes it great for close ups of insect etc. It's so handy for opportunistic shots of birds, and so it's my go to lens. It pairs particularly well with high density sensors like those on the 5DSR and 7DII which give better reach in reasonable light.I'm finally getting some of my warbler shots edited from May!

you are getting me convinced about 100-400 .is it as sharp when 1 meter bug shoot too?Beautiful shots. As you know, I have been praising the 100-400mm II for ever.

Been trying shoot bugs with 40cm focus distance and its difficult when bug is awake and observing dangers.
Macro lenses must be good only for sleeping and dead bugs.
Awesome thing you can change bug shooting to bird shooting just with turning mode button
Thanks clickVery nice shots, Aussie Shooter.
Yellow Warbler.
She was quite curious about what I was doing!

Pape, just look at my dragonfly shots again - most are with the 100-400mm II. It's really sharp at 1m but I prefer to be about 1.5-2m for dragonflies as the depth of field is better.you are getting me convinced about 100-400 .is it as sharp when 1 meter bug shoot too?
