I have a Canon 5D Mark ii with the 24-105L lens and wonder if it makes sense to get a 2X extender for my trip to Spain. I also have an older Canon 75-300 lens but don't want to carry both. Concerned about quality with the extender and also whether a good one exists that fits my camera. (Thanks, Canon...) Also considered a used Canon 55-200, but Rockwell said that my camera couldn't handle the color problems.
Appreciate your help and snark,

The 24-105mm lens cannot be used with an extender. The Canon extender protrudes into the rear of the lens and will not physically mount to the 24-105.

Again missing the point. Like I said that’s your choice and it’s fine if you like it. This thread is about white balance. I was just addressing your assertion that it’s immaterial if you shoot raw.

If this thread is about wb why did you chose to comment on anything other then the wb of my photos?

I looked at the last color photo you posted. Garish and overblown is a “decision” you made. If you were a pro shooting a fashion show you wouldn’t make a “decision”, you would make sure your colors were accurate.

That’s how I like my photos. I’m sorry you didn’t like it. Just move on.

Those are not hats. They are caps.

Missing the point. I can see why you shoot mostly B&W

Shooting mostly black and white is an incorrect assumption on your part. I shoot mostly in color but I post mostly in black-and-white.

Immaterial in that it can easily be changed with raw, but you should at least have a good idea what light color you’re dealing with for accuracy in editing. I don’t think the designers at a fashion show wouldn’t want you just making your own decisions about how their colors should look.

You’re making that decision when your taking the image or during post.

Setting the white balance is immaterial if you are shooting RAW. If you are shooting jpeg, then it does matter.

So you like using bankruptcy to stiff people you money to? And you are admonihing people because you think they don't have it Bibles I in their house?

Rich irony and hypocrisy, but par for the course foe MAGA Christians I guess.

I stated that it’s a tactic I dislike. Can’t you read?

If YOU don't Vote, Don't Complain! Is this a valid position?

What a pitiful bunch you MAGA'ts have become.

So rather than answering what I thought was a legitimate question you choose to sling shit instead. Good move.

Well there are some serious efforts by the gop to suppress the vote.

By demanding voter ID?
