Unless you have used a really, really SHARP lens - like the Canon 300 2.8 - you probably do not have a good concept of what sharp is ! 8-(

Nobody said it was. The question is should one get the photo even without optimum sharpness, or just not take the photo at all. Each of us has to make that choice. So, if you would not hand hold and would not crop, and would not use a 2x converter, how would you go about getting the photo?


IF I were hand holding I would try to brace somehow, if I were in low light I would crop and use AI pixel enlargement - in better light, I like to use a 1.4X and CROP - staying away from 2X TC. If pressed, I will use an APSC body and get a 1.6X crop that way - on top of a 1.4X TC and cropping and using AI pixel enlargement.

Well, go ahead and try that experiment. I tried to shoot the wren without a converter. That would make it shot with just 400 mm and there is some cropping even with it shot at 1120. So, I don't believe it is possible to crop that mich. I was actually hoping that someone here that is a little compulsive would try exactly that as part of this discussion.


Hand holding @ 1120mm and cropping is not the receipe for optimum sharpness ....

A Glossy Ibis chick waits for mom to regurgitate a meal while another chick waits for it's turn. Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
Sony a1, Sony 600 f4 @ f4, 1/640 sec. iso 2000, I was shooting into a shaded spot so I switched to Auto, I also switched to small center spot focus so the branches would not interfere with the focusing. The center spot was placed on the chick.


Never seen a Glossy Ibis nest or the little ones - in fact never seen a regular Ibis nest either ! !

I would like to go down to Wako/Green Cay but I do want to drive on I-95 anymore ! ! 8-(

The new reality is that the latest TCs, internally and external are excellent optical quality, and top wildlife and sports pro photographers around the world use them all the time, with excellent results.

Just go to any Wildlife and Sports shooters groups and forums and see wonderfully sharp and optically excellent shots made with the latest TCs. It is just fake news that TCs are no good nowadays. The latest TCs and best long lenses are designed to work great together, and they do if you know how and when to use them.

Here top wildlife pro Mark Smith uses both Sony 1.4X TC and Sony 2X TC with the latest Sony 300mm f2.8 GM lens:

Sony 420MM F4? What???? 300mm 2.8 + 1.4 Tele - Beautiful Combo for bird and wildlife photography.

Sony 300mm 2.8 + 2x Tele - Beautiful Combo for bird and wildlife photography.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBNF3xu5w5w&t=436s

Here my 24mp Sony A9, Sony 200-600mm lens and 1.4X TC at 840mm, as kids get pulled by a fast speedboat on Brookings Lake, Manistee National Forest, Michigan, USA. This is a 50% crop in here.

Click on download to see better image quality, even with UHH photo compression here. No noise reduction has been done in post on this image, but I could clean it up a bit with my Topaz Denoise AI if I choose to.

Cheers and best to you.

LOL, Yes, using the latest most expensive bodies and lenses with extenders does give good results in the right hands and the right light .....8-)

I am trying to explore my options for flowers, so I tried Home Depot. It was a very sunny day with some wind. I went inside, and it was slightly better, but sometimes they were crammed together!

I wasn't satisfied with the last flower post, so I thought I would try again! I went to two other places, so all I can do is keep practicing!

I hope you enjoy this journey and process! Still, see soft focus sometimes!

Being a work in progress isn't always fun!

Feedback is welcomed!

Well, you are doing quite well ! IMO, the biggest concern with florals is DOF control and back round rendering .....I mostly go to Lowes for my florals. Soft focus is GOOD - when it is in the right place 8-)

Whether noise is a problem or not is subjective. Get rid of the noise and you probably hurt sharpening. In my job noise is a non issue as newsprint does not show noise. For your use it may be more important to get rid of noise.


Yes, attacking noise in post will always hurt sharpness - even the best noise abatement software ! So, the best idea is to control noise in the camera !

Yes, newsprint is very forgiving in showing fine details of any kind - including noise......
