100-400 II + 1,4X III + 1DX, A great combo for lightweight BIF
Finally I had a chance to test the above combo as a lightweight BIF on the backyard hummingbirds. I have to say I'm quite pleased with the results. The 1DX feels so much more solid than the 7D2 even with the addition of the 1.4X and statistically my "keeper" rate went way up compared to the 100:400 and 7D2 without the 1.4X. The image file looks better to my eye too. I'm glad I returned the 7D2.
I will post 2 images. The first is a FF and the second is a crop (I think) close to 100% of the hummingbird.
