Extreme Teleconverters

Thought I would have a play with TC's on the Sigma 120-300
2X+2X+1.4X ie 1680mm or 2688mm in 35mm terms shot in Liveview and 10 sec timer to let wobble settle down

pretty good, considering!


Now take a photo of something that is alive!

The plant in front of the brick wall looks alive!

If I can find a snail I'll oblige, as with the reduced aperture, shutter speeds were pretty slow and utilising the 10 sec timer to allow the lens to stop wobbling I would need a live subject that would stand still

what about using a remote ?

I couldn't be bothered to look for it, besides it needs to settle down after manual focus

The 2 second timer is usually enough delay, too, so long as you are gentle pressing the shutter release button.

With those kinds of focal lengths, you also should be using mirror lockup.

Try shooting the moon
