So, I'm curious what 500MM f/4 shots using 2X extenders really look like, as it appears the 500 is about the right weight to realistically use for wildlife and BIF work. And, I'm curious about the comparison of 300 f/2.8 IS L + 2X + 1.4X. Wow.... my kind of thread..... glad to oblige.  500 f4 + Canon 1.4x + Tamron 1.4x  Romy Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds

Just reading the title of the thread brought your shots to mind. You have done great work with ultra-long lenses and lens-teleconverter combinations. Tom

I don't think that's cheating. It's a lens of sorts, and it's long enough! Tom

Romy Thanks, Romy. The 400 is a monster, but it really is a nice lens. It also offers the only means of autofocus beyond 840 mm (600/4 & 1.4X) that is available. Tom
