Mar 24, 2013 13:45 | #1 Going on vacation soon and will be looking for some osprey and eagles to shoot. I will be using my 400mm 5.6 and my 5D3. How well does the TC work with this set up? Any examples? Would I be better off with my 60D and lens combo to get the most reach?

Mar 24, 2013 14:55 | #2 Your camera bodies will not autofocus at f/8 or smaller. Canon has a fix for the 5D3 coming, but I don't think the 60D will ever.
