Stunning work! The first shot, in particular, is just beautiful. Love that partial silhouette and backlighting.
I rented the 300/2.8 L II last year. Really loved that lens. With TCs, it is extremely versatile. I used it with both 1.4x and 2x TCs, and even at 600/5.6, it's IQ was as good as or better than my 100-400mm lens. I would call it the ideal wildlifers lens...gives you top quality versatility for almost any situation except very distant subjects.

Hi jrista, and that is where the 300f/2.8L II shines even over the 400f/2.8L II, I had both Lenses with me during that 1st Image, but I could only get the 300 to focus fast in these conditions, and it focussed on the head immediately, the 400 tended to hunt some before eventually locking focus.
My 200-400f/4 wouldn't have a hope of taking this Image, well, in my hands at least.
Again the attached shows the Lens in action, on the 1Dx @ 12fps this was reasonably easy shooting, except when this big boy got to the top I thought he was done, he didn't even hesitate, just launched out of the Tree with the Impala in his mouth, i was too stunned to shoot, missed what would have been "the shot", that's photography though.

All lovely, but this one is just spot on.
Would be interested to know what Gear was used.
Thanks

At least it should reassure anyone with concerns for lack of sharpness of the 200-400 f4L 1.4x at 560mmeml58 said:
