great shots. I particularly like the portrait of the cormorant with the 2x III.

This week I got my 1DX, 4/600 II and 200-400. All awesome stuff. Thanks for always posting images with the 2x III. People are too afraid to use a 2x. I did tests yesterday with a Tawny Owl with the 600 II and 2x III. Amazing sharpness. I had 1/320, ISO 2500, put my hand on top of the lens and the head against the camera. Perfectly sharp. Canon has really outdone itself with the new lenses/extenders. The only thing that sucks is that my 7D cannot autofocus with f8. But with the 1DX AF is really fast with the 2x III on the 600 II.

have fun in Africa. The leopard shot in the other post is awesome. My favorite African cat!

Markus

I would need an assistant or my wife. Great captures.
