Oh, never mind; that name was already taken. Nice shot, Archi. Thanks for the comment. I don't know where the names come from. I suspect advertising folks are involved!

If you use 2X Mark II, you don't need any extension tube and will retain full infinity focus. At my recommendation, my friend (actually two of them) bought 3 2X Mark II and stacked them all together to get ID shots of distant birds (he used Canon 600II lens on Sony A9) Lame-Duck wrote in post #18852554 Very nicely done, Shalu.

Have you tried stacking the 1.4x III and 2x III using the Canon 100-400 II lens? If so, I'd like to hear your evaluation of that combination. Also, I'm new to the concept of stacking converters and don't know what the rationale is for using an extension tube. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Tom Hi Tom flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/robamyphotos/

Archibald You must be quackers! More info | Apr 28, 2019 13:30 | #40752 robamy wrote in post #18852768 Hi Tom Thanks for the comment. I never tried it with the 100-400mm II as I sold the lens awhile back. I am guessing quality will suffer a bit seeing you are starting off at F5.6 vs F 2.8. You only need the extension tube if you are using the Ver III extenders because they do not fit together like the Ver II extenders did due to the new design. You can use the 1.4x II and. 2x II without a tube. I never tried it as I have only the Ver III extenders to compare quality. Canon should just come out with a 2.8X.
