Nate, I have been writing about this combo for flight and action a lot recently both on the blog and in the Bulletins. AF accuracy is great but as expected, initial AF acquisition with the 2X II TC is noticeably slower than with the 400 f/5.6 L IS. I am not sure if the 70-200 has the old IS or the new (4-stop) system. I will try to find out. I far prefer the new combo to the 1-4 especially for image quality and sharpness. Be sure to check recent posts and Bulletins for more details and lots of images.

How do you find the performance of the AF with this combo? Is it good enough for action type nature shots (Birds in flight, Egret catching fish, etc)? The reason I ask is that while I love my 400 f/5.6 it would be really, really nice to have 400mm with 4 stop IS at this price! Is the Af with this combo at least better then the 1-4 zoom?
