Anyone here have any experience with the 1.4x II with the 400mm 5.6? I just picked up a 7dmkii and would like to try an extender with it since it will focus at f8 with the center point. Is it worth trying? Thanks

Back in the old days when I had a 20D and 400 f5.6 I could tape the pins so it did not report and it would AF. Conversly, a non reporting Tamron extender would also AF. I see the 7d2 has af at f8, did not know that. Ignore my reply. But the 400f5.6 and 1.4X mk2 combo was sharp when in focus.

Give it a go, but don't be surprised if you need to Maf the lens and camera with the 1.4.

This has been a very good combination for me.

It's definitely worth trying and you will manage to get good shots. Having said that, for me, it takes all of the fun out of what can be had taking BIF shots with the fast AF speed since it's relatively sluggish with the 1.4x II on. I used to try the combo with my 5DIII. I haven't bothered to try it on my 7D2 yet.

I think you will like the combo. It is really sharp even with the TC.

This was shot wide open at f8.
