7D Mark ii and 100-400 Mark ii review: Day 9 Eagles Again

Saturday 1/17/15 was my last Eagle trip with the combination of the New Canon 7D mkii and the new Canon 100-400mm IS Mark ii.

Light was crappy all day.  I also was lucky enough to have a paid client that day, so I didn’t focus much my photography as much as making sure he knew his gear and his subject.  A few minor tweaks and he was off and having the time of his life photographing my Bald Eagles on the Mississippi River at Lock and Dam 14.

Anyway on with the review.  This will be my last write up before tomorrow big total review on which gear I will be keeping and if any gear is being returned.

I think this last image comparison speaks loudly.  Final write up later tonight or tomorrow!

I would also like to take a moment to thank all my new blog followers and supporters!  I think this blog had roughly 50 subscribers, and as the time of this post it is at 112!

THANK YOU!

Canon 1DX + 500mm f4 = The Dive

My Canon 1DX and my trusty Canon 500mm f4 IS has been feeling neglected!  I have been walking around with the 7D2 + 100-400 hand held.  Was trying to catch a fight, but caught this Dive instead.  I have been leaving the 500mm setup on my gimbal and tripod, and switching back and forth to compare tracking and focusing speeds.  Here are some results.

Now that I got a post out, better get back to the high ISO comparison!

7D Mark ii and 100-400 mark ii review Day 3: Six Pack on Ice

As promised here are “Six Pack on Ice”.  These were taken on Sunday 1/11/15.  Not over exposed, feel a little hot to me.  Might have had something to do with them standing on a large photo reflector in harsh mid day sun!

All shots in this post are from the Canon 7D mkii + Canon 100-400 mkii

I had to work today, so as soon as I finish a little web work, heading down to my studio to put the 7D2 through some high ISO comparison.
