Today's catch: 300 f/2.8 IS MkII + 2xTC MkIII.
Not an ideal combo for shooting fast and small BIF against busy background in the proximity of the bird, but once the bird is in focus, the result looks OK.

Well done, Peter..... these are tough shots even with a faster focusing and lighter 400 5.6L, more so with a 600 f/5.6!
...gettin so that my favored kit is 5DIII, 70-200II, 1.4xTCIII, 2xTCIII cause they all get along so well with each other, and a 24-105 cause I might something that I usually don't.
Killdeer. Fairly common in the Northeastern USA this time of year. The family resides among the rocks adjacent to railroad tracks. 300mm 2.8 IS II + 2x III
This thread certainly proves that the 2.0TC is a worthy investment. Especially paired with the super telephoto lenses and the 70-200II.
I just purchased the 2.0 III in April. I need the reach for the places I shoot at. I have no complaints about using the 2x. All of these are with the 600II.
I just used a canon 2x III on a Canon 300 f4 to shoot an eagle perched in it's nest. I had to manually focus on a tripod. It was windy and I never had much hope for the shot, but it turned out ok. Not an award winner but postable.
