Sharpness is just ok wide open, but for best results I use f/8 if possible.   Canon

airbutchie Not too crunchy More info | Apr 23, 2012 12:21 | #548 You do lose some IQ, but not extremely bad... I was on shutter priority mode, shooting the surfers (between 1/1000sec and 1/2000sec.)... I just let the aperture set its own setting, which usually ran between f/5.6 and f/11 (depending on the shutter speed)... Here's another one with my Kenko 2x TCon...  This one is at f/7.1 @ 1/1600sec... Not too shabby... Hi. My name is Butch...

airbutchie Not too crunchy More info | Apr 23, 2012 12:43 | #550 ^ It really depends... For wildlife where the animals really don't move and/or move towards you, the 2x is great for the added reach... For fast moving events (i.e. surfing), when they get too close, you lose the framing and start chopping off their surf boards, hands, and/or head... Hi. My name is Butch...

Exactly.I will buy one first and some time later get the other.Having the ability to have 300mm,420mm and 600mm with one lens will be great Canon 1D Mark III

airbutchie Not too crunchy More info | Apr 23, 2012 13:29 | #552 ^ If I'm not mistaken, Roy, I did the same thing... Started with the 1.4x and loved the extra reach with minimal IQ loss... Then purchased a 2x at a great price... There was a slight hit on IQ, but for the most part, very acceptable results... Hi. My name is Butch...

With some backgrounds with Tc2X I get sometimes also quite harsh bokeh (with trees ?) like on the first picture with the reindeer . So actually, I am rather careful with using TC2X
