I took these with a Canon 7D, Canon 300mm f4 with a Canon 1.4 extender. I had to really crop these to get them in close which brought up the noise level. I was wondering if anyone had use a Canon 2x extender with this lens and camera? My main concern is the softness of the focus. I know that I will lose f stops. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to go to Africa in 2015 and want to start working on a good lens set up.
Hi Jam...I have that exact same set up...I don't do well with my 1.4 extender on. I don't use a tripod..So it's a little too heavy for me with the extender on it. Swamp Gator loves the 300mm with the 1.4x...he doesn't recommend using the. 2x extender though. BTW...nice set...love the Kingfisher!
