Whayne -- Great shots! One point: your cameras are all similar in these shots to mine (except the 1DX), 1D3, 1D4 mostly. Do you think there is something about the 5D3 that could be affecting these, or is that just no AF at f/8?
My 100-400 is from 2008, my 1.4X is from 2003, and seem extremely compatible. Perhaps it is as you say, having a sharp lens is paramount.
Thanks.
I haven't tried the 5D III with FW 1.2.1 yet, with this lens combo yet and I'll be disappointed if it doesn't perform as well as these other cameras for IQ and AF.
My 100-400L is a 2005 IIRC, UT and is very impressive; I don't whether it's better than average, but plenty of people have reported that they have very sharp copies too especially those after 2006. But It can make an enormous difference if you are using TC's and they will just magnify any flaws.
Maybe you could show us some wide open shots with the bare 100-400L from the 5D III @ 400mm to assess .
I recall a test shot I did several years ago with the 20D + 100-400L. There was a huge crane on a construction site that was about 50m tall and about 80m away, and I took a shot of the cabin. When I zoomed in I could clearly make out some pressure gauges and the needle on the dial, all at f/5.6, handheld.
