p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · teleconverter for Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS ii


I just purchased this lens and I already have a Digital Concepts 2x teleconverter will this work for wildlife photography? I'm not real concerned about slower AF or effected IQ since I'll have plenty of time to focus.

Thanks

well, there seems to be only one way to find out. slap it on and find out. your results will be pretty much immediate.

but i will tell you that the Nikon models 1.4, 1.7 and 2.0 are matched to the lens optics better then any other.

The Canon 2x Mk III Extender is by far the best 2x teleconverter for this lens (or any similar lens). I have both. The image quality at 400mm with the 70-200/2.8L IS II + 2x III is pretty good, about the same as a bare 100-400/3.5-5.6L IS. I posted some comparison images a couple of years ago,

400mm: 100-400L vs 70-200II + 2xIII https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1154527
1DIV 500/4L IS + 2x III https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1213166/14#11869493

There are other threads with 1.4x Extenders and various stacked Extenders.

P.S. this thread would get more traction on the Canon forum.
