...Canon can't make a lens autofocus with their own teleconverter when the aperture is smaller than 5.6, but the Tamron at f/6.3 will auto focus just fine. Go figure.
Later Canon bodies (5D3, 5D4, 6D2, 7D2, 1Dx, 1Dx, 77D, 80D etc.) will autofocus with a 100-400 f5.6 plus a 1.4x TC (f8).

True. My 7D2 will AF at f8 but only with the center AF point.

If it af at all then you are ahead of the game.
Keep shooting and use the centre point for pinpoint focus.

I purchased a Sony 5" external monitor to photograph the 2017 solar eclipse. It was a dream to use for low angle or high angle photos like a 74% SOLAR ECLIPSE.

My best GAS purchase was a mint Nikon Df with 600 clicks for ~ $1400. Still like this body for my first step into FF.

A Nikon DX 35mm f1.8 I purchased new for $197. Finally bought it even though I owned a 50mm f1.8. I own two more zoom lenses. I simply love these two inexpensive prime lenses. And won't part with them. Unless I go full frame?
The 50mm f/1.8 IS a full frame lens. It works perfectly in match-needle mode as a prime normal on my FE film camera and all-auto as a short telephoto on my D7100. If youngo full frame you've already got your first lens.

Fujifilm X-T2. I love it. Light and easy to carry all day long on vacation, hikes or street photography.

my best new equipment was, 3 L brackets and 3 wired remotes. as my right index finger is numb and not reliable when tripping the shutter button.

you got a steal, sometimes the God of light shines on certain people and gives them a prize package to keep and share the output with friends on this site UGH

The Nikon 50mm 1.8G is a FX format lens. And affordable. About $217 presently. I've heard about the Yongnuo lenses, but I don't own any. My 35mm f1.8 is strictly DX. So, I do have an FX lens, as you stated. I use the 50mm f1.8 for outdoor summer kids soccer games from the sidelines with a DX camera.
