Up until I looked at this photo I took the other day in Silver Springs State Park, FL, I had no idea how important a woodpecker's tongue is!

Pretty low light and deep crop, so please excuse the softness.

Awesome results from that combo! You may have just pushed me over the edge to grab an A9. The 1.4xTC that you used, is that a Canon one or the Sigma?

Getting distinct vignetting at f11 and wider. Anyone else found this?

A9 & 100-400mm & 1.4x TC, ISO 1600, f8, 1/3000s.

This has no editing other than the default conversion in PhotoLab.

I have some vignette with that combo on my a7III, but not the amount that you're getting.
I'll add that the shot looks far better at full size than it does at the posted size here.
Smugmug is crushing the colors.

You might have a TC from the first batch, they're faulty.

Thanks for these terrific photos. You've helped me decide to get the A9 to use with my EF500 F4. Just have to get my finger to finally push the "buy" button.

Do you retain AF with the MC-11. I am guessing the Canon 1.4X version III. Read mixed reports on MC-11 vs Metabones with the TC.
Thanks

With the latest firmware updates for both MC-11 and Sony A9, this combo is quite good ( retains all A9 AF modules and sometimes better than 1DxII). I compared ( not scientific) canon 1.4TC III VS Sigma 1.4TC and concluded that Sigma 1.4TC is slightly better in AF response especially going from close to infinity focus. But I never used Metabones.
This one is with Sigma 1.4TC.

More winter coming in today.

a7III, 100-400 with 1.4 tc and 1.4 clear zoom, with a massive crop while shooting in asp-c mode.
(yeah, the nest is a bit away from me, no, I can't get closer)

Looks like a cold bed.

What's a 1.4 clear zoom?
