Yes, AF on the 70-200 II is excellent. But part of that is the 7D itself. Here's a burst sequence I shot with an excellent Canon lens, but one that's referred to as 'slow focusing' and 'not well-suited for action shooting'...the EF 85mm f1.2<span style="color: #ff0000;"]L II. The short sequence below is my daughter running towards me along a garden path, and over that distance the 7D in AI-Servo AF with the 85L kept focus on her eyes at 8 fps andat f/1.2,despite the extremely thin DoF!! You can't tell from these small shots, in the full size shots I can distinguish individual eyelashes in every shot. The shots only went out of focus as she ran closer than the MFD of the lens.
