Thanks Deon, beautiful footage of the flycatcher and chicks! I use a 100-400mm mk ii with a 2x extender too. I started with the 2x ii, which delivers good results, as you have shown. But I found it a little slow for acquiring focus for birds in flight (coupled with an EOS R). Then I managed to sell the 2x ii and got a 2x iii (luckily the price difference was small). I noticed that the newer version it is both sharper and faster. Also, I learned that the 2x iii is from the same generation of the 100-400mm mk ii, that's why they work better together. I've just got an R5 mk i and my fist tests with this lens and extenders have been great. Cheers!
Awesome video Deon! That photo of the Wood pigeon came out amazing
Seems like this would be a nice alternative to the Conon RF 200-800mm in a lighter more flexible form factor. Thank you for the nice presentation.
Thank ou so much for watching and your comments! Cheers Deon
