Just discovered an interesting point - remote focusing via Live View (posted this at DPR/FM too): Just tried it on my 100-400 IS, remote focus is possible in Live View if the camera is tethered to a computer. 1. The bare 100-400 IS can be focused remotely, no problem. 2. 100-400 + any wired TC - remote focusing is disabled, as expected. HOWEVER, with the 100-400 + dumb Tamron 2x TC, remote focus works at f/11....Wowowowww!!!! I suspect a taped Sigma/Canon 1.4x or 2x would also work, will try this later. It doesn't matter if AF with the untethered camera + TC hunts. As long as the camera at least attempts to AF (even at f/11), remote focus works via Live View! Hehe.... that means moon craters jumping all over the LCD during physical MF is now a thing of the past....  AWESOME information. When I first handled Live View for real that's when I realized manual focusing would finally be possible and perhaps I could buy some nice MF glass on Ebay now.

IQ does suffer with the 2x TC, but still acceptable. I can sorta understand why this combo isn't used with birds but might do what I want it to do
