For my upcoming trip to Ngorongoro and Masai Mara, I am wondering whether anyone has any experience shooting wildlife or just plain shooting with the combination of Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 400 f2.8 II. Thanks

A friend of mine shot that exact same set up for arenacross and he loved it and he is shooting it professionally. His problem was it was TOO MUCH reach so he sold me the 7dmk2 and got himself a 1dmkIV. His stuff looks amazing. It's a heavy lens.

i agree with your friends situation! i have both 600 f4.0II and a 300 f2.8II and i would not take neither of them with on a trip like that! i purchased a 100-400 II a few months ago, i find the !Q and resilience astonishing and that would be my number 1 candidate! however, that said, if i had a 4x4 vehicle all to myself and free to go anywhere, then i would seriously consider taking both of my mentioned big white primes and BTW, i love my 1dmk4, it is a grand camera and would be with me for a long time to come...it is a gem!
