    Unless one of them is flying backwards, your timing is impeccable. :D

    How do you like the 100-400 on the 5DMKII? I get excellent results with that combo.

    Thanks. I'm very happy with that combo. The 100-400 is an excellent piece of glass and very sharp results on the MK II. The only thing i have noticed lately is that there is more and more dust building up in the lens because of it's push pull design. Other then that...hard to beat what the 100-400 puts out for it being a zoom lens!

    Wizardry, one question: How DO you get the jet models to remain so still? Mine always blur when I use string to hold them up. :)

    Seriously, that is an incredible shot! Great timing on your part, for sure!
