Got out with the 2X teleconverter and the 300mm. This image is about 1/5 of the 50 MP full frame and is close to a 100% crop when viewed. I was not disappointed with the results this combination gives me, although I did notice some strange focussing behavior in some shots. Don't know what was going on there (had a small green box indicating focus, but image didn't look like a focus took place within that box).
Overall very pleased with the images that resulted from using the 300mm with the 2X.
ILCE-1, 1/2000 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400, 600mm (FE 300mm F2.8 with 2X TC)

Nice. Something about the framing and the bird’s crest and expression make it look more like an angry bird of prey.
Great shot

I don't know if you shoot the A1 with the 2x on other lenses but that's "typical" behavior for it in cases like this. If the subject is higher contrast it's less likely but once the contras is below a certain threshold this problem will kick in.

Do you prefer the 300 with 2x to something like the 200-600?

How would you say the hit rate and IQ are with the 2X teleconverter?

Yeah that guy bought my hoods and then copied my designs. I am working on one for the 300 though so stay tuned. (I know, I'm a little late)

Check this site for short lens hood and lens’ cap.Thank you. Those look like the ones Jon sold for the 600GM. This cap was just a stop gap anyway until I had time to prototype one to 3D print. I have a base cylinder design in Fusion 360 and can just resize it to the dimensions of the 300mm GM. Then I can print it in ASA where it will be sure to not warp from UV and heat.Those are certainly Jon's designs. Not sure if Jon is associated with that site? He has his own site but no 300 hood.
I'd want my hood to be more like 2". I run a 2.25" on the 600GM.

I will message you directly when I need a 300 hood (if my 400GM ever sells) and send my friend your way for his if he wants one. He has your hood for his 600GM.
