Hi Jake,

Thanks for your kind words. I think that all murres show the brown curved line behind the eye. With the bridled form, that line is distinctly white. I did not miss the faster frame rate (well less than 14fps in AI Servo AF if you read the fine print). See lots more coming soon and see my reply to Kent above.

with love, artie

Hey Kent, YAW and thanks for your kind words. The 100-400 II is fine for action. Not many opps for flight at close range here. With my deteriorating flight photography skills, I found yesterday that the 70-200 f/4L IS with the gannets far our-performed the 100-400 II with the 1DX II. Not sure why and not a direct or fair comparison but, I was surprised.

with love, artie
