This video is no help, you mention nothing of the distance you were from your subject. and to answer the above question ... YES, you can take "photos" with this lens.

@backcountryboys No. But you can take photos using the camera that the lens is attached to.

Only with the Aperture turned on :D

Before start of the video, the mallard duck was prefocussed. and till the end the camera stays in same focus.

By no means this video explains the inability of 7D to focus fast in video mode OR 7Ds superb autofocus speed when doing photo stills.
