Really good shots here, that combo works very well. I absolutely love the eider shots as it's one of my favorite birds anyway, but to get all that detail and see the eye...tough thing to do. Great exposure too.

I just got a 100-400 with a Canon 1.4 and I can't get anything very sharp. With the TC, you lose autofocus and focusing manually without any focus aids (like the old split prism of my much loved T-90) it's near impossible to know when you're sharp. I'd love more discussion on exactly how you accomplished this - tripod, stance, did you lose autofocus with your Kenko?, etc Ward

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Apr 12, 2007 19:03 | #26 you lose autofocus and focusing manually without any focus aids (like the old split prism of my much loved T-90) The make split screen focus screens for the 20D and 30D and others, but they are worthless. They only work below f/5.6 and what good is that? Mitch- ____...^.^...____

I'd love more discussion on exactly how you accomplished this - tripod, stance, did you lose autofocus with your Kenko?, etc I have the same set up. I've taped the pins (yes, the correct ones) stood in the midday sun, and cannot, for the life of me, get the lens to AF. I gotta be doing something wrong, but haven't a clue. Manually focusing is a bit tricky with the focus ring being so far out. I'm about to put the Canon 1.4TC up for sale, if I can't figure out a workaround. Steve -
