Is his name Mozart?

Exactly...

After he finished his latest masterpiece:

When at Huntington Beach State Park near Myrtle Beach last week, I had a chance to try out a 1.4x TC with this lens. Here are a couple of handheld shots with a 5D3 + Kenko Teleplus Pro 300DG 1.4x TC that were also cropped in Lightroom.

Colors on that last beauty are wonderful!

Hi all

A quick question and sorry if I missed the answer anywhere on these 58 pages .

I received mine only this morning (packed very well, even a very tight fitting bubble wrap bag over the 'case') so only a very quick try out done but looks like it may need a very slight MFA at the 400mm end ~ I think it might show a tad of back focusing? The short end seems spot on.

The question is has anyone else found the same?

I will be giving it a better run to discern if is indeed 'off' and if so will have to use MFA for this first time ever as my old 100-400 was OK as is my 24-105. Oh this is on a 5D3 so if I recall this body allows for MFA being done/different at each end of a zoom.

I haven't needed any adjustment on both 5D3 and 7D2. I would spend some time with it as is until you see you have a consistent issue and not just some beginning misses. I know I had some thoughts at first but they all ironed out to nothing.

It'll be totally dependent on the combination of a particular lens sample on a particular body sample - so a lens that backfocusses on one body may front focus on another (or be perfect, or any combination of the above).

Yes, use the camera for a while before doing MFA. I didn't; it made the learning curve for the 7D2 harder. After lots of messing around, I only needed MFA for one lens and that was with an extender.

Amazing pictures on this thread. Thanks all, you've just cost me $2200!!

I ordered the lens at Adorama. For those of you who order it there, how long did you wait before you got it? I know it can vary, but I just want to have an idea

Thanks,

Not counting the weekend days, I believe it took 3 days to get to Minnesota. That's assuming they have it in stock and ship it out right away.

I got mine the next day when I ordered, it was in stock when I ordered and UPS takes one day to get to me via ground.

Thanks! Mine is in backorder but I guess it should not take long to arrive.

As B&H did not have it in stock when I ordered, I had to wait a week before it was shipped. From New York (actually NJ where the warehouse is) to Massachusetts it was delivered the next day even though it was free shipping.

I ordered on a Tuesday and it was b/o from Adorama. Showed up at my door on Friday.

I did know mine was coming, It just showed up ( Wife ) Histogram included
