Anyone us Teleconverters with your lenses or do you just rely on cropping in post?

Re: TC's
Agreed. I have a 1.4x Mk III I use on my 100-400 Mk2 and a 2.0x Mk II that I use on my 70-200mm and they both perform pretty well.Skip wrote:I use the canon x1.4 mk III regularly on my Canon 500mm f4 with no noticeable loss of sharpness and IQ and the x2 mk III is much the same

Re: TC's
I have been looking at the Kenko 1.4 pro dgx ones - they are supposed to be good?

Re: TC's
Echoing earlier posts, my experience with TC's has been mixed. A 1.4 will shift exposure by 1.4 stops and in poor light there will be some hunting, less so in good sunlight,
Remember that adding a TC means adding more glass to your lens.
Your post doesn't indicate what lens you are using, but if you are using a lens in which the maximum f stop is 4.5 or 5.6 I would resist from using one.

Re: TC's
FWIW, the lens manufacturers' "matched" TCs are generally a lot better than the3rd party ones because the manufacturers know much more about the characteristics of the lenses to which they should, and should not, be matched - OTOH, you still have the light loss issues.

Like yourself, i have used a 1.4x Mk III with my 100-400 Mk2 but have found it sluggish and shockingly soft. However, it works perfectly with my 300 2.8 and still gives wonderfully sharp images.ChrisCwmbran wrote:Agreed.
