One thing I have loved about the EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens is its speed in focusing. Coupled with my Canon 7D mark ii (that has an amazing arsenal of auto-focus options and bells and whistles, this has been wonderful setup for wildlife photography, especially birds in flight. In fact, having shot with the mark 1 of both camera and lens, I can say the two are a significant improvement over the original. And between the lens being sharp wide-open (2 stops improvement over the old where I had to stop down to f/8), having another stop of image stabilization, and the camera's sensor adding at least another stop in image quality at higher resolution, I would say this set up is a good 4 to 5 stops improvement over the old!
So I have so loved this setup!
