If you nail the focus you can use F5.6 I have many sharp shots but DOF is very thin.. THe bokeh is not affected @F8 much and AF is fine on F8 if it is outdoors even in shades.

That sample that you provided looks pretty good, especially considering the high res. sensor that you're pairing it with. I'd expect that to fall apart on a 41mp sensor. Just to confirm, you were using the 200 f2 + 2x teleconvertor wide open? It says 400mm f4, but sometimes when using other brands, it doesn't detect actual f stop. If you can confirm that, you're probably going to sway me towards the 200mm f2 instead of 400 DO (after a good amount of testing of a rental, of course). Feel free to send me more samples

Thanks for your help.
