I'm finally satisfied with the performance of the 300 + 2xTC.

Great series Harvey ,I have heard that the MKlll's are quite superior over the previous models your results sure show this .

Well Harvey there is no softness in that combo! What a nice series and I love those Long Tails!

These are great Harvey, so glad to see you back and posting again.

That is a great combo Harv. Exceptionally sharp images with exposure to boot. Well done.

I was hesitant to get the x2 III but once I did I was happy with the results in the right circumstance. It makes a nice combo and very versatile with the 1.4 especially with the 300mm. Great shooting Harv and these turned out great.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't be happy w/results and images like that Harv.
They are all very crisp and sharp. I do love the Long-tails too, they are sweet.
Between you and Levina y`all are going to make me get a 2x aren't you -

Go for it, Steve. Life is short.

Great set Harvey! Looks like the III works great. I had one too, worked nice on my Sigma 120-300 2.8 OS but at the same time I also had a Sigma 2x TC which is also sharp. The Canon was a little bit better in the corners and handled fringing and CA much better. But eventually I ended up selling it, I couldn't justify twice the price compared to the Sigma. I can correct most of the color issues in ACR anyway (just a little more work).

Thanks a lot, Gabe. I'm pleased with the results from it for sure.

I know very little about 2x TC, but I do know about great shots... and I think these fill the bill I mentioned to you back in an old post, that the Long-tailed Ducks are a species I see on Lake Superior... but can't get close to them, so I envy and am impressed with these beautiful images.

Thanks a lot, Dave. The Long-tailed ducks winter over in our harbour so are a little easier to get to. After a while, they become much less spooky.

Super shooting, Harvey; Artie Morris would be proud of you.

Thanks a lot, Al. I doubt Artie would be proud... I'm not a member of his forum.

Thanks a lot, Andrew. Not so much the 1.4, but certainly the 2x is.

Thanks a lot, Sharon. Appreciate the welcome back. You'll probably get sick of seeing me around.

Thanks a lot, Mike. Much appreciated.

I'm ignorant about converters as well, but do certainly appreciate the heck out of your photographs.

Looks like it performed flawlessly. I especially like the long-tailed ducks.
