I just picked up the 5D MK IV and it makes the 100-400 II sing. Even with the 1.4X TC III, it works beautifully. As long as I watch exposure, the images are quite nice up to and past ISO 10000. I haven't been in your shooting situation so I can't tell you if the 100-400 II would work for your purposes but I love it for birds.

ISO 12800

ISO 8000

Using 100-400 II + 1.4X TC III

Oh wow!! These are amazing! And I was just thinking that I needed to MAYBE look at adding the 7D MII to my kit so I could get the extra reach with my new 100-400 II and TC 1.4III.  You are sure making me think twice about that!!

I LOVE wildlife but have been doing youth sports (that one pays me some money).  Thanks for sharing the photos!
