As promised, I tested out two Canon cameras and two Canon lenses and tried to keep the conditions the same with focal length for both lenses at 200mm
I took 4 sets of photos; using Canon 5Diii and Canon 7DmkII each in turn with either the 100-400mm mkII with IS. and the EF 200mm f2.8 L USM MKII lens
So, I'll start with Canon EOS 7D mkII (EF 200mm f2.8 L USM MKII Lens)
7D mkII (EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM) focal length set at 200mm
Canon EOS 5DmkIII (EF 200mm f2.8 L USM MKII Lens)
Canon EOS 5DmkIII (EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM) focal length again set to 200mm
although the focal length is 248mm with the next one, it is to show the difference with the same butterfly taken with 200 f.2.8 and 7DmkII
Took me forever to sort the photos out with having to separate into four different sets !! Conditions were very mixed, dull one minute and bright sunshine the next but I chose the more shady stumpery area deliberately as this would prove a better test for the lenses.

Thanks for all your hard work Hazel they are all very impressive showing just how good all the lenses and both bodies are.
Love the setting too and the one of the little Blue Tit looking up in bewilderment is a cracker.
I think you have also made my mind up for me lol

In reply to Alan:
Glad to help Alan ! I'm really pleased with the gear I've got and the combination of lenses; at the moment I have left the 100-400mm on the full frame 5DmkIII to give it a try out further. Tomorrow, we have the Tour of Britain cycle race coming through our town (and round the corner from our house) twice !! I will try to get a few photos as they come powering through. Camera speed settings on increase methinks looking at how fast Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish go lol
I have more photos taken (out of test mode) yesterday with some more shots of the birds looking up in bewilderment lol so will try get those up at some stage. Also the lollipops returned today and have some close ups of them and the tit members. (Can't call the LTT's tit birds as they are not ! )
