I doubled down this morning at my camera shop and paid for the 7d2 in advance which bumped me to the front of the line, for whatever that is worth. They are selling it at the same price as B&H etc, so the advantage is that I am in the local market versus the national.

I meant to process yesterday's shots for comparison, but then I went out and shot more today, and then also stopped in Yountville on the way home (Napa wine country), so I am pretty much done for the night
With the 500mm and the 600mm, the difference is huge, so if the 300mm were comparable, you'd know it. With my 70-200mm, there's no problem with either TC on the 5D MkIII.

Congrats on the 7D MkII. I think we'll both love it.

I had so many great shots on Thursday and Friday, that I got behind and I'm almost caught up. It take discipline to keep up.
