p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 1.4 ii Extender on 500 F4 ll


Hi Guys,
I use a 1.4 iii in my 500 F4 ll, but I came across a fairly new 1.4 ii and I'm don't know what the Real World AF performance is like with the 1.4 ii on the 500 F4 ll.

I used to have a 1.4 ii, but sold it before purchasing the 500 F4 ll. It is my understanding that the there is an AF performance difference when used on a newer mk ll telephoto. However, is the performance difference significant enough not to use a 1.4 ii on my mk ii 500 F4

Is it very slow?

Thanks

I've used both v2 and v3 on the 500ii. There's not much difference in speed or IQ. Perhaps a tad better contrast on the iii, but not by much.

Since you say you have the III, I have no idea why you would care about the II.

I have both 1.4s referred to and the III lives on my 500 II. The performance of the II is close but only gets used when I have converters on two lenses.

At times, I take two bodies to a site with different lenses and could use two 1.4's. I may still buy another 1.4 iii, but the 1.4 II is an option if the AF is as fast.

Ah, then you may as well get both. That will give you the opportunity to compare the two yourself, and if they are stackable, you would also have that as an option.
