Anything Shot with a 7D MII

Canon 7D Mk II
Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L

I'm torn ... I think I want the new 100-400 v. 2, but need to sell this sharp/fast 400 to be able to get it ...

I doubt the new 100-400 will be as sharp as your 400 prime. Wait and see how the images compare to the 400 5.6L before making your decision. I used to use zooms for a lot of things but have just given up and now use just primes (the only zoom I still have is the 70-200 F2.8L II). For the short time I did own 2 of the 100-400, I used them primarily at 400 most of the time. I found it soft wide open at 400, even after AFMA, and as a result the Phase detect AF system had a hard time getting a lock. I would hope that they would fix this problem in the V2 lens.

Nice shot. Love the colors

Thanks Ryan, I don't really do soft focus all that well but I like this one. I had to back off the saturation quite a bit. That flower was really yellow. Nice to try new things once in a while. Like the 7D2 for macro. AI servo for focus and high speed shutter then rip-off half a dozen or so. Pick the one that's in focus and you are good to go. No Fuss, No muss.

It turned out great. It's always nice when you try something new and it works. I've never fired off several macro shots like that but I'm going to try it!
