Trying Out a $50 Kenko Pro 2x TC - 2nd Post 05-02-2014

I just bought a used 2x Kenko Pro 300 to use with my 70-200mm Canon "L" lens. I already own the 1.4x Kenko Pro 300 and it does a nice job... I first bought the 1.4x Kenko Pro 300 about 2 years ago... I didn't get the 2x or 3x Kenko TCs because I heard that they degrade your lens too much... I just bought the 2x Kenko Pro 300 from my friend for $50 and I am trying it out now... The 2x will push my 200mm up to a 400mm and it will give me more reach. I don't expect it to be as sharp as the 1.4x but for $50 I can use it...

The bird that I photographed below wouldn't set still so I caught him and tied his little foot to the tree limb... not really, he just happened to land over one of the bird feeders...
